Hamilton to Verstappen: how much do the F1 racers make?

How much do the 20 Formula 1 drivers make? Well, let's say that there is a big difference between the superstars and the rest. In fact, the salary of Lewis Hamilton, the new seven-time world champion with Mercedes, is almost double that of the number two, Max Verstappen.

Hamilton makes 57 million dollars a year, a number that I have managed to maintain in a difficult renewal process during a time of crisis. However, the bonuses that he has agreed upon in his renewal year could add another 6 million to his salary.
