Hamilton lost his lead in the ranking of the highest paid Formula 1 drivers
The famous racer rolled back two positions at once.
A study of the Formula 1 payroll for the 2023 season showed that the legendary Lewis Hamilton will no longer earn the most.
The British Mercedes driver has led the rankings over the past few years, but this year he has been overtaken by two athletes at once.
According to European insiders, Hamilton will receive just over $30 million in 2023.
But the new leader Max Verstappen will earn almost twice as much - fifty-five million. Charles Leclair, who became second in the payroll, will receive thirty-six million.
True, we are talking about the net income from participation in the race. With bonuses for wins and points, as well as advertising contracts, the riders may well switch places during the season.
