Was there ever a day when F1 drivers were barely paid US$1 million? I think not.

What about the 50's, 60's ? Heck, to a lesser extent even the 70's.

All the F1 drivers back in the 50's/60's were racing other categories to earn enough money to pay their stuff. Touring Cars, World Sportscar, lesser Formulas, you name it...

No wonder Kovalainen's seat is insecure, geeez. Di Resta has to be pretty bummed out too.
