I have very little idea about the salary of everyone on the grid, but according to a random article I found on the internet:
Max Verstappen - $55,000,000
Lewis Hamilton - $35,000,000
Charles Leclerc - $24,000,000
β¦
Oscar Piastri - $2,000,000
Yuki Tsunoda - $1,000,000
Logan Sergeant - $1,000,000
And this doesn't even include sponsorships, of which Max and Lewis have significantly more than Yuki and Logan, it seems crazy to me that a single fine can be a driver's whole salary for the entire season. It's just running into the same problem that speeding tickets have for regular people: the same ticket could mean not making rent for one person, and be pocket change for someone else.
Yeah if they want to raise the fines, then fine the multi millionaires more than the Magnussens please .
I get your point, but the Magnussens are also mult-millionaires
