We have an idea of what some of the top drivers make. Anyone have any idea on Kubica? His contract is up for renewal and Ferrari and Renault are looking at him. How much is BMW paying him now?

After last season, he and his dad were shouting the odds at Ron Dennis, demanding a massive pay rise, even though McLaren gave him everything he has, that he is not in Formula One for the money and glamour, oh and his undying love for McLaren. Hamilton's current deal is £70 million over five seasons (so, from 2008 inclusive), which works out at £13.7 a season. Those figures are just what he gets from racing. I daresay Hamilton's advertising deals etc. are worth a few quid.

Perhaps Lewis should have just stayed on last years salary out of gratitudeHamilton owes McLaren, well, his career, basically. That he has been prepared to shaft the team makes me furious and cringe when he remarks about how much he loves McLaren and Ron Dennis. Hamilton is a carpetbagger and is the sort of person who would smile at you whilst sticking a knife into you. Anna, you are just a typical British citizen - the sort who bums up their country's sportsmen and women and is completely blind to their faults.
I think F1 salaries for a top driver are obscenly huge, but its what they are.

I Like him because of his talent not because he is British(though that is nice) The last driver i supported was not British he was Columbian and ive never really suppoted Coulthard or Button.
