Dutch world champion zooms clear of Lewis Hamilton in Forbes F1 earnings list<\/h1>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Forbes list reveals Max Verstappen&#8217;s salary at Red Bull comes in at $55million<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>That&#8217;s significantly higher than team-mate Sergio Perez, who earns $10m<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Lewis Hamilton topped the list for some years but now trails the Dutchman\u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Max Verstappen has zoomed away in the Forbes Formula One earnings list just as he&#8217;s raced away in this year&#8217;s championship.<\/p>\n<p>A new list of F1 driver salaries has revealed Verstappen&#8217;s $55million [\u00a344.65m] salary is over five times that of his Red Bull team-mate Sergio Perez.<\/p>\n<p>Having topped both this leaderboard and the championship one for several years, Lewis Hamilton now come a quite distant second to Verstappen with a Mercedes salary of $35m [\u00a328.4m].<\/p>\n<p>The Forbes list has Ferrari&#8217;s Charles Leclerc in third with annual earnings of $24m [\u00a319.5m] and Lando Norris of McLaren fourth on $20m [\u00a316.24m].<\/p>\n<p>Carlos Sainz of Ferrari ranks fifth and only then do we find Perez, whose salary is measured by Forbes at $10m [\u00a38.12m], well short of Verstappen.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\"

salary at Mercedes of $35million<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps this shouldn&#8217;t be surprising given the Dutchman&#8217;s commanding lead at the top of the drivers&#8217; championship this year.<\/p>\n<p>Verstappen, with 12 race wins this season, has 374 points to the 223 of Perez, who won races in Saudi Arabia and Azerbaijan in the early rounds of the campaign.<\/p>\n<p>The reigning champion Verstappen since racked up 10 consecutive race wins, breaking Sebastian Vettel&#8217;s record, before Sainz claimed victory at last weekend&#8217;s Singapore Grand Prix.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s almost a similar disparity between Mercedes team-mates Hamilton and George Russell, with the younger driver earning $8m [\u00a36.5m], according to Forbes.<\/p>\n<p>Those lower down the grid generally earn in the $1m-$2m bracket.<\/p>\n<p>Back in May, Forbes ranked Verstappen as the third highest-paid athlete under the age of 25, with his total income &#8211; also taking into account endorsements and bonuses &#8211; valued at $64m [\u00a352m].<\/p>\n<p>He came in behind French footballer Kylian Mbappe, who makes $120m [\u00a397.4m] and NFL player Kyler Murray on $70m [\u00a356.8m].<\/p>\n<p>The Formula One season moves on to Suzuka in Japan this weekend as Verstappen aims to take another step towards his third consecutive title.<\/p>\n<p><img
