Formula 1 is one of those sports where a lot of money goes around. Yes, it is not always for the pilots. Sometimes, most of it is spent on the development and creation of the car, as well as on its improvement during the championship. However, there are drivers who are ready to eat almost the entire budget of the team thanks to their driving skills. If we talk about the richest pilots in Formula 1, then it is worth saying that not always their earnings directly depends on the ability to drive a car. There are media personalities who, thanks to their popularity, are desirable for the team, even to the detriment of the results. But let's move away from a letter-by-letter comparison of pilots, to a numerical one.

But let's move away from a letter-by-letter comparison of pilots, to a numerical one.
Kimi Raikkonen
Kimi Raikkonen or simply iceman - a native of the Finnish city of Espoo is in the top five richest pilots in Formula 1 throughout its history. And it is not important that Kimi only once won the championship title in 2007. At the moment he is a record-breaker in the number of laps passed. Kimi is now forty, and there are rumors that the season 2020 will be his last. By the way, if not the absence of Raikkonen in the seasons 2010-2011, he could claim a higher position in the rankings. On account of the hot Finnish guy about 330 million dollars earned in Formula 1. Naturally, the lion's share of earnings accounts for his career at Ferrari 2007-2009 and 2014-2018.
Sebastian Vettel
On the line we have another member of the season 2020, while acting in Ferrari, but in the off-season he will definitely change teams. Despite his age, Vettel is a four-time world champion, moreover, he owns records with the prefix "the youngest". It is thanks to his successful start in Formula 1, he is in the top of the richest drivers. For his not yet the longest career, he was able to earn about 360 million dollars. It should be noted that Sebastian does not intend to stop there and can still come close to the leaders of our rating.
Michael Schumacher

We already had an article about this man, which, however, did not touch his financial side. Yes, Michael has earned enough money during his career in Formula 1 and there are no complaints about his finances. Moreover, Schumacher is known for the fact that he often allocates funds from his own budget to charity. Yes, and if in his early years of his career, the amounts were at least close to current realities, it is unlikely that the Red Baron would have only been in second place. But for that Schumacher we knew from the championship, finances were not in first place. After all, we remember his desperate fight for the championship with Hill, Hakkinen, Villeneuve. And the return to Mercedes is the support of the German car industry and the new team in Formula 1. All in all, during his very long career in Royal Racing, Michael was able to earn about $470 million.
