Loads a Money!
« on: March 07, 2006, 11:23:16 AM »
He may not have won the most recent world championship, but Michael Schumacher is still the highest paid race driver in F1's pitlane.

The 'Sport-Informations-Dienst' (sid) agency has published a list of the sport's top earners, claiming that the 37-year-old Ferrari star takes home $62.4m per year. Up to $17m is personal sponsorship income.

''Michael is worth every cent of our investment in him,'' Ferrari president Luca di Montezemolo is quoted as saying. In sport, only Tiger Woods ($120m) earns more.

Intriguingly, Michael's younger brother Ralf, 30 (Toyota), is listed as F1's second highest earner, with a $20.4m coffer.

Here is the full list:
  • Micheal Schumacher - $62.4m
  • Ralph Schmacher - $20.4m
  • Kimi Raikkonen - $14.4m
  • Juan Pablo Montoya - $13.2
  • Rubens Barrichello - $12m
  • Jarno Trulli - $9.6m
  • Fernando Alonso - $7.2m
  • Mark Webber - $7.2m
  • David Coulthard - $7.2m
  • Jenson Button - $7.2m
  • Giancarlo Fisichella - $6m
  • Nick Heidfeld - $6m
  • Jacques Villeneuve - $3.6m
  • Nico Rosberg - $1.8m
  • Christian Klien - $1.8m

Yeah, but are they happy??

 ;D

I am with Mr Clarkson on this one, Pay them all £25,000 per annum basic and £500,000 per overtake, that would liven things up, wouldnt here them whinging about being in the dirty air then would we !!!

^^ sounds good to me. Would make it very interesting indeed. I can see some accidents resulting from desperate overtaking manoeuvres.

Shame all drivers don't get the same bonus.

Can you imagine the M25  :o Might be a bit quicker though  ;D
