For Formula 1 star Lewis Hamilton, the sensational move from Mercedes to Ferrari at the beginning of 2025 is not only a matter of prestige, but also involves a considerable jump in salary. The 39-year-old Brit made use of his exit clause; according to the portal “formula1.uno”, Hamilton should be paid handsomely.
Scuderia Hamilton is said to be offering a total package of around 99 million euros per year. However, this should not only include the basic salary, but also bonus payments, sponsorship money, image rights and more.
According to media reports, the ex-champion is said to have recently earned just over 40 million euros at Mercedes – but that was just a basic salary. It is said that even with bonuses he would not reach Ferrari’s numbers.
