Wow. That is impressive spending. To spend all that each of the sisters would have to spend about $16,000,000 a month for 9 years straight. And a lot more if interest were to be included.

Not to worry!! They can sell all that crappola and recuperate enough to live on!!
Or... they could get a real job and have a real budget to live in the real world!!

in fact he is the second highest paid driver behind Vettel in 2016. Lewis is currently the richest United Kingdom
sportsman in the with wealth of (£88 million).

We collect the data from various sources, one thing is there have been not many changes in team line-ups,
but few teams renew the contract and Haas F1 the only team made brand new selection for 2016 F1,
below added the driver’s deal on 2016 line-up.

Considering the discrepancy in salaries between the teams' drivers, with the top driver depositing almost
double the "other" driver, it is difficult to argue convincingly most teams don't have a 1/2 philosophy!!
