$32M USD is a pretty good chunk of change for Hamilton. Definitely a far cry from what Schumacher was making during his prime years at Ferrari though ($80M+ a year, iirc).

 

So the worst is about 1.6 mil.. To do what they love to do...

Have to love it...

 

Times are tough mang

 

there was post on here recently about Piquet's pay cut to 250k

 

Yeah I saw that one, I guess we'll have to take all numbers with a grain of salt.

 

I'm almost certain Kimi makes over $50 M US a year I'll have to look it up

 

Dam, hows the boy going to eat...
