Being a team leader Formula 1 it is a very complicated task. Managing the drivers and the performance of the car is a tedious job that deserves a commensurate financial reward. That’s how you should think Mercedes with Toto Wolff, who has a salary of 16 million euros.
The German leader is thus the team leader who earns the most money from the ‘Gran Circo’, according to ‘Sportune’. In addition, most of the grill brings in less money. Only Lewis Hamilton, Max Verstappen and Fernando Alonso enter more than Wolff for their services as pilots.
The difference is abysmal if we compare it with the next one on the list. Christian Horner, his counterpart at Red Bull, charges almost half. The British have a salary around 10 million eurosbeing able to go down to 8 or go up to 12 depending on variables.
And despite the fact that the figures are not official, all the new team managers have a similar salary. Andreas Seidl (Sauber/Audi), Frederic Vasseur (Ferrari) and Andrea Stella (McLaren) go down one more step and enter between 6 and 8 million euros.
