This is how much F1 drivers will earn in 2023: Alonso is surprised
Like every year, the prestigious magazine “Forbes” releases its rankings. The 10 highest paid drivers in a team on the F1 grid. The research team does not publish this type of data, and several publications have purposely compiled a list of these characteristics through their information. Now, Forbes magazine has updated its rankings with a big surprise in the case of Fernando Alonso, one of the two Spaniards to make it into the top 10.
According to Forbes magazine, the top of the list of F1’s highest paid drivers in 2022 are: max verstappen ($60 million) ahead of lewis hamilton (55 million) and Fernando Alonso (30 million). In that respect, Carlos Sainz He occupied 8th place in the top 10 and had an annual salary of $15 million. ferrari.These numbers change significantly if Fernando Alonsowho started a new journey this year aston martin After quitting Alpine.
F1 driver salary in 2023
It must be remembered that this list provided by “Forbes” refers to the salary that pilots receive from the team. Add to that money the commercial contracts each has with teams and sponsors, which could explain Fernando Alonso’s surprise with this update.
However, due to the Spaniard’s immense talent and the enormity of Aston Martin’s project, it is difficult to believe that he earns far less than a driver like Bottas, and a million less than his former teammate Ocon. I don’t think there is.

According to Forbes, the Asturian will receive a $30 million salary at Alpine and will earn $5 million a year later, less than a driver like Bottas ($10 million) and Ocon. It is said that this is $1 million less than the previous year, but this seems to have little credibility.
