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.
