The top 10 drivers raked in $258m combin🌃ed this year, a reduction from $264 in 2022.
V🌼erstappen's huge bonuses, having won 19 grands prix, made a huge difference.
But Hamilton is reportedly on a b𒉰igger base salary than Versta🍸ppen. Although he didn't claim a penny in bonuses after a second winless year.
Verstappen can pro𓂃bably hope for a raise from Red Bull after h🎐is record-breaking year, while Hamilton penned a new contract with Mercedes midway through 2023.
“Clearly that🅷 is a big differentiator today, that big teams can just offer much bigger salaries to drivers,” Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff told Forbes🐲.
Haas’ Guenther Steiner added: “Once the cost cap starts to work even better than now, and I’m sayin🌟g it’s already working good now, the driver will have more of an impact🃏 again.
“A�🌃�nd obviously the price for the drivers will go up.”
