Re: Ralf still being paid $20 million a year!

I would pay my drivers 5 million at most, but with an extra 100 000 for each
point they score.

Rubens is getting paid $12 million!
Jacks $3.6 million - I thought he was paying for his drive.

Schu is still top F1 earner - 07 March 2006
He may not have won the most recent world championship, but Michael
Schumacher is still the highest paid race driver in F1's pitlane.

The 'Sport-Informations-Dienst' (sid) agency has published a list of
the sport's top earners, claiming that the 37-year-old Ferrari star
takes home $62.4m per year.

Up to $17m is personal sponsorship income.

'Michael is worth every cent of our investment in him,' Ferrari
president Luca di Montezemolo is quoted as saying.

In sport, only Tiger Woods ($120m) earns more.

Intriguingly, Michael's younger brother Ralf, 30 (Toyota), is listed as
F1's second highest earner, with a $20.4m coffer.

McLaren's pair Kimi Räikkönen ($14.4m) and Juan Pablo Montoya ($13.2)
come next, followed by Rubens Barrichello ($12m), Jarno Trulli ($9.6m)
and the reigning world champion, Fernando Alonso.

Renault's Alonso will earn 'only' $7.2 million in 2006, perhaps
explaining his high-pay switch to McLaren at the end of the year.

Behind him is Mark Webber and David Coulthard ($7.2m), with Jenson
Button seemingly paying the price for his Williams buy-out by earning
the same retainer.

The remainder of the published list is as follows: Giancarlo Fisichella
and Nick Heidfeld ($6m), Jacques Villeneuve ($3.6m), Nico Rosberg and
Christian Klien ($1.8m).
