How much do top tier Formula 1 drivers get paid?

May be...

At his peak Schumi was on $16M a year from Ferrari plus sponsorship deals which were rumoured to be worth another $10M+ at least.

I know the lowest paid driver gets $10 million a year. How much does a Kimi or Hamilton get just for driving? What about commercials and the such?

62 dollars a lap.

Louis Hamilton just signed a contract for $26 million this year. That doesn't include outside contracts. Commercials etc.

Scuderia Ferrari Marlboro's Kimi Raikkonen earns $52 million a year. Thats a million a week! Plus advertising and all that. Thats just his basic salary.

m.schumacher claimed ВЈ35million per year but that was linked to ferrari's sponsorship and his comittment with sponsors.

too much in my opinion,,,

As of right now Kimi is earning $55 million per season + bonuses

Lewis is earning 26 million per season + Bonuses

Alonso is rumored to be earning in the area of 40 to 50 million per season with Renault. However this is a 1 year contract and everyone in Formula 1 expects him to make a solid run for a Ferrari seat next season. That could also explain why JT is no longer a Ferrari CEO because he was strongly against Alonso coming to Ferrari.

Alsono when he was still with Mac last year only made 16 million. That is very very very very cheap for a 2 time world champ. Schumi made 60 Million with Ferrari but he did have 7 championships to his name.

i read Hamiltons autobiography and it said in there the season just gone he was on i thin like ВЈ400k but because i think he might have renewed his contract

kimi around ВЈ10 - ВЈ16mil because he has moved up the ranks like football players some1 from a low league would get ВЈ1000 then if they got scouted then moved to championship he may get ВЈ20k then moved 2 premiership ВЈ40k it will go up due to exp and personal quality/skill so the more exp or titles you have the more money you earn but because hamilton has only just arrived a yr ago then he aint goin to b on the money that massa,kimi or alonso is on however i do think hamiltons contract is ВЈ70mil over a 5yr period that is ВЈ14mil per yr or over a 17race year that is ВЈ823,529 per race or on a 18race calender that is ВЈ777,777 per race which means hes earning like ВЈ1602 a hour or ВЈ26.70 per minute or 44p per second of the year

Commercials i think they get ВЈ5mil due 2 sponsors and known faces
