How sure are we about the accuracy of that article from a website that can't spell sports correctly? Not saying it's false, but it seems dubious. Also, given the cost cap, there's no way a team could pay that salary. Seems like nonsense to me.

Thanks, wasn't aware of that actually.What doesn’t come under the F1 cost cap?
There are several big-ticket things that aren’t covered by the cost cap, including:
Driver salaries
The wages of the three highest-paid staff members
Travel costs
Marketing spend
Property and legal costs
Entry and licence fees
Any non-F1 or road car activities
Parental and sick leave payments
Employee bonuses and staff medical benefits
It's the first one in the list

It's in front of everything else...of course it's a fantastic car. If he designed your team's car it would also be doing that.Oh... So Verstappen mostly only wins from pole. Congrats Adrian Newey on your fantastic car!

Discovery Insure with their driving style tracker must be moering them with premiums.And insurance premiums?
Those guys are driving very fast
LOLDiscovery Insure with their driving style tracker must be moering them with premiums.
Stroll has pumped tons of cash into their new factory and wind tunnel. They're no longer the customer-engine team!I like that an under dog like Aston Martin is making good reliable fast cars.
Makes the season more interesting
Interesting question from a drunkard.And insurance premiums?
Uhm, what you mean R2k per person? For medical aid or life insurance or what?LOL
Yeah those drivers private health insurance premiums must be through the roof as well
I wonder what they're paying?
We pay like R2k per person here in RSA?
