F1 driver Valtteri Bottas signed an extension agreement with Mercedes this week, and the new agreement will bring a big salary increase to the Finn.
The Sun magazine reports that Bottas’ salary for next season will be around £ 12 million. In euros, that means about 13 million.
This season, he earns about seven million euros, according to media reports.
However, Bottas will not become the pay king of the series, as his teammate Lewis Hamilton earns tens of millions of euros per season at Mersu. It is estimated that the British star’s annual salary is as high as 40 million euros.
Red Bull’s Max Verstappen and next season’s McLaren driver Daniel Ricciardo will also earn clearly more in 2021 than Bottas.
