I'm surprised some of the salaries aren't more to be honest.I seem to remember Ayrton being on £1 million a race at one time.If you look how much inflated footballers wages have gone up in that time its unreal

Elsewhere representing motor sport, Kimi Raikkonen appears for Finland with his earnings from the World Rally Championship listed as a whopping $26,333,333.

wow no wonder Kimi is "doing what he pleases". Now he's got his own team, so from a bussiness pt of view his exit from f1 seems to be paying off. i guess Kimi doesnt appreciate the bussiness model of F1: Bernie makes money, everyone else spends

Yeah and lewis is supposed to be takin a cut!!! But I guess we'll never know the ins and outs of it all.

HRT are paying Karthikeyan $250,000? If they are actually paying him, they might as well get a better up and coming driver from GP2.

Kobayashi and Perez are a bargain pairing given their $1.5m combined pricetag against the results they have brought to Sauber!

They pay him that but i would guess he'd bring a far greater amount than that in in sponsorship cash...

In terms of drivers salaries, £250,000 is near enough minimum wage for us lot.

OMG, look at Pic!

Well Pic is getting screwed then...

But this doesn't tell the whole story (these are just figures i saw posted elsewhere anyway) - no doubt there are point/win/title bonuses, plus some drivers get extra income through sponsorship, i believe Hamilton gets quite a lot more from that to the tune of millions a year...

Bottom line: us poor folks don't have to worry about any of them, ain't that the truth?

I think you'll find Hamilton is currently behind at least Alonso and Schumacher in personal sponsorship deals, its part of the sticking point in resigning a Mclaren contract.

OK he's slightly above F1 minimum wage. Di Resta and Pic must be on F1 income support!

[LewEngBridewell]

Rosberg getting more than Schumacher? Brilliant!

[andrew]

As if Schumacher needs the money! After all his advertising things he's probably still making more than Alonso. Apparently gives a huge amount away to good causes.
