Interesting info if correct.
Red Bull seems to be doing the best with very reasonable salaries for the quality of driver, only 2.25 million euros total.
Ferrari pays the most as expected. They always seem to pay the top dollar.
And look at McLaren at only a million less than Ferrari for their grand total of 5 points so far!
Mercedes seeing these salaries must be absolutely kicking themselves when they realize that they could have both Ricciardo and Bottas for less than 4 million euros and easily win both championships as they have that big car/engine advantage. Instead they are forking out an extra 34 million for the same result! That's enough to buy every driver on the grid below the top five! They have no one else to blame but themselves.
And hopefully Merhi gets a raise next year, 50k euros doesn't go far when you have to get yourself to the races all over the world!
