Big pay rises for Horner & Marko after F1 23 Season success
« on: November 05, 2024, 01:55:51 PM »
It's Helmut that pocketed the biggest pay rise, his salary virtually doubled to £7m. Christian's increase although huge is a much smaller percentage overall (approx 11%) on his total to £8.8m.

I reckon talk of losing £15m from constructors placings this term is small beer in total budget. RBR breaks even or makes money, and that's without factoring in marketing worth to main brand.

Might change I guess now they're an engine builder, even that is now cost capped so nothing like sums Dieter had to throw in the pot once upon a time. 

Horner isn’t thought to be the wealthiest amongst the F1 paddock though.

{Arch rival Toto Wolff’s salary is approximately £6 million, he’s a one-third shareholder of Mercedes Benz. That means he’s earned around £25 million in dividends.

McLaren CEO Zak Brown reportedly earns £9 million, but banked £26.4 million in total.}

I don't pay too much attention to the money side of the sport.  Personally, I don't think the money in the sport is split the right way, but everyone involved got in there fully understanding how it works, so from that point of view it is 'fair'.

I've always found it a little curious that the people in charge aren't paid as much as the drivers.  I understand that the drivers are the 'face' of the sport, and their talent is critical to success.  Just weird that a guy getting paid a small fraction is telling the drivers what to do.

I wonder what Flavio is going to make? I'm sure he doesn't need it and he
should have been banned for life for his deeds

Think the real little sh*t in the team at that time was Piquet Jnr, think he may well have dreamed up & suggested the dirty deed, cooked up with his totally amoral father.

Sure Flavio was/still is a complete Brigand, it's easy to forget getting one over on one or all your opponents in those years was de-rigueur, he simply took it way too far.

Shame is the snot Piquet Jnr got off pretty much Scott free.  >:(

Alonso must have known it was about to take place & went along with the scheme too, although he of course took the Fifth amendment over it all.
