A new survey of F1 salaries is topped by Ferrari’s Kimi Raikkonen, who has collected a $45m pay cheque this year.
The survey was compiled by F1 expert Tom Rubython, author of the Ayrton Senna biography The Life of Senna.
Rubython said: “There may be a global recession going on but being an F1 driver means you earned a fortune last year. These figures are just basic salaries, and don’t include sponsorship and other income, which can often be three times that amount.”
In total, the 20 drivers who will race this weekend have earned $126.8m – although if Ferrari’s Felipe Massa is included (currently out injured), it brings the average F1 salary for 2009 to $***m.
Despite the high salaries for the star drivers, three of the top names are on no salary due to “rent a drive” contracts – Kazuki Nakajima, Romain Grossjean and Vitantonio Liuzzi
