It's a million-to-1 chance, but it just might work
Ever wondered how much F1 drivers get paid? A report published by the newspaper El Mundo shows all!
Alonso takes home the biggest pay packets, earning almost double what Hamilton gets, and more than double his teammates salary. Ferrari also are still coughing up €16 for Kimi Raikkonen!
A big shock is that Webber (€4.2m) is earning far more than his teamate Vettel (2m). Could that be another reason why Vettel is trying so hard to prove he's better than Webber?
And right at the bottom Chandhok and Yamamoto prove that some drivers are in F1 for love. Or a chance to drive at a bigger team that can pay them.
