Big Money Deal: How Much Is Lewis Hamilton Earning at Ferrari This Season?

LEWIS HAMILTON’s blockbuster move to Scuderia Ferrari shocked the world of motorsport – and with it came terms Mercedes couldn’t match.

The seven-time world champion was Mercedes’ golden boy, but a failed boardroom role and under-performance on the track led to a split and Hamilton moving to Ferrari.

At the Brackley-based team, Hamilton, 40, continued to be the biggest star in the sport and one that brought immeasurable amounts of marketability and attention.

His Formula One resume on the track remained incredible and he commanded a wage packet amongst the sport’s highest ever earners.

Hamilton’s Mercedes contract, which contained a break clause which he activated, had him earning around £43MILLION per year.

Money is reported to have been less of a reason of his departure, with the biggest reason said to be Hamilton wanting to be a valued member of the organisation after his racing career.
