The figures in the OP are much too neat. IE 4 guys on 10m and a bunch on 500,000.
It also overlooks the fact that pay drivers like Maldonardo (who brings appr 16m to Williams) and Bruno Senna are in a net defecit situation.
Its polite to say they are paid 500k but in reality they pay 15m and get given back as salary 500k. So really they are minus 14.5m.
