Hi Ron,

According to sources such as the BBC and Forbes, the current contract
Lewis is on puts it closer to a base salary equivalent to AUD40 million a year.
Then there are bonuses.

Alonso's contract with McLaren is reported to be around AUD49 million a year.

Vettel's contract with Ferrari is larger still.

Compare that to the F1 "pay drivers" who bring either personal
sponsorship or personal or family funding for a seat.

Lauda, Michael Schumacher and Alonso all started their careers
as pay drivers.
