Verstappen comfortably in the lead
The top three equal the podium in Australia this year! Alonso received 34 million, 10 million of that in bonuses. Hamilton, on the other hand, has received zero dollars in bonuses. Still, he is in second place with $55 million. And at number one, as expected by now, Max Verstappen. $70 million came in for the Dutchman. No wonder there was demand for a 'Max Verstappen levy'.
