Lewis Hamilton, Vettel on Top List of Formula 1 highest paid driver Salaries, earning 2019.
Lewis Hamilton will once again be the highest earning-paid driver on the Formula 1 grid in 2019 as Mercedes reward the five-time world champion for his dominant run of title-winning success, with Ferrari rival Sebastian Vettel and Daniel Ricciardo completing the top three on the list.
Hamilton makes a two-year contract extended with Mercedes a year ago to help his earning to £40million per year.
The Brit won his fifth world title while expanding the Silver Arrows' strength for the fifth back to back season.
Ferrari rival Sebastian Vettel, who has four Drivers' Championships to his name, banks just about 25% not as much as Hamilton with £30.5m.
Red Bull's Max Verstappen is expected to challenge Hamilton and Vettel for the title this year.
He is just banking £10m, which is considered not exactly the previous partner Daniel Ricciardo.

The Australian has joined midfield outfit Renault for the up and coming season and he is by and large heavily rewarded.
The 29-year-old has been given a practically identical Salary to Vettel at £26.5m.
Mercedes' second driver Valtteri Botas at that point sits fifth with £6.5m.
At the contrary end of the scale, young Briton George Russell wins £140,000, which is somewhat superior to the base worker Alexander Albon of Toro Rosso, as indicated by the Mirror.
The F1 season gets in progress in Australia one weekend from now.
Hamilton is the most favourite for the title to take him to within one Championship of Michael Schumacher's all-time record.
But Mercedes was behind both Ferrari and Red Bull in testing so it is set to be a fascinating race.

Notable too is the fact that for the services of experienced Romain Grosjean and Kevin Magnussen, Haas are shelling out a mere $3-million for the pair. What’s the price of an F1 front-wing?
