An emotional Max Verstappen already cried out last year when he climbed out of his F1 car as world champion: ‘Can we keep doing this for another fifteen years?’ Max Verstappen is not signing up for fifteen years now, but will be signing up for an extra four to five years on top of his current contract, which runs until 2023. According to The Telegraph it is the biggest deal in F1 history to date. This immediately gives us an idea of Max Verstappen’s salary in 2022.
Max Verstappen’s salary in 2022
Sources report to the newspaper with the large font that Max Verstappen will now earn about 50 million euros a year at Red Bull. That means that the Dutchman will earn about as much as seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton. It will be a dime, so if it’s not the biggest deal, it’s the second biggest deal in F1.
Max Verstappen is in any case the highest paid Dutch athlete at the moment. If we look at the list of Forbes next to it, Max Verstappen would be somewhere around 15th in the world’s highest paid athletes. Roger Federer, Tiger Woods, Conor McGregor and Lionel Messi, for example, would earn quite a bit more.
Other income from Verstappen
An important note is that these amounts are never officially communicated by the teams or drivers and are always reported by ‘sources’. It is also good to know that that 50 million euros is the basic salary. The fans now all have to start buying merchandise again with a ‘1’ on it instead of the ’33’. The driver earns well from that. In addition, he gets extra income from sponsor deals, such as those with Jumbo and Carnext.
