The driver has won his third consecutive World Championship this year and he is taking in more in bonuses than some drivers make in two years.<\/p>\n<p>Verstappen has enjoyed yet another stellar season while racing under Red Bull. The 26-year-old ended the year with 19 wins and 21 podium finishes overall to his name en route to winning a third World Championship of his career.<\/p>\n<p>While the Dutch driver\u2019s exploits on the tarmac helped him to assert his dominance as the top driver of the year, he is also ahead of the pack when it comes to getting paid. Following the season\u2019s end, Forbes revealed its annual Formula 1 highest-paid drivers list with Verstappen miles ahead.<\/p>\n<p>Verstappen\u2019s salary, according to the report, comes in at a total of $70 million (\u00a355m) \u2013 a base salary of $45, (\u00a336m) with $25m (\u00a320m) earned in bonuses.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/73\/590x\/secondary\/5099366.jpg?r=1701731671221\"><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not surprising to see that Verstappen has his bonus quota having broken several record in a dominant season. His 19 wins saw him beat his previous record of 15 wins last season, and his 290-point lead in the standings barely compares to Sebastian Vettel\u2019s 155-point lead in 2013.<\/p>\n<p>Coming in a close second is Mercedes star Lewis Hamilton with a cool $55m (\u00a343m) to his name following the end of the year. Hamilton\u2019s salary is \u00a37m more than his rivals, but he was awarded no bonus payments in a season that saw him finish third with six podium finishes and no wins.<\/p>\n<p>Rounding off the top three is Aston Martin\u2019s veteran driver Fernando Alonso. The Spaniard enjoyed eight podium finishes and was awarded $34m (\u00a327m) for his efforts \u2013 a base salary of $24m (\u00a319m) and a further $10m (\u00a37m) in bonuses.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/73\/590x\/secondary\/5099371.jpg?r=1701731671265\"><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/g> <defs> <clipPath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"\/> <\/clipPath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Support fearless journalism<\/li>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/g> <defs> <clipPath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"\/> <\/clipPath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Read The Daily Express online, advert free<\/li>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/g> <defs> <clipPath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"\/> <\/clipPath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Get super-fast page loading<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/logo\/logo-premium-subscription.png\"><\/p>\n<p> <strong> Don&#8217;t miss&#8230; <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>F1 CEO piles pressure on Lewis Hamilton and Mercedes for 2024 season[LATEST] <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Lewis Hamilton shares off-season plan as Mercedes star&#8217;s season draws to a close[LATEST] <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>FIA announce &#8216;extreme&#8217; rule changes as McLaren begin suing driver for \u00a318m[LATEST] <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Having finished second in the season\u2019s rankings \u2013 with two wins and nine podiums &#8211; Verstappen\u2019s Red Bull teammate Sergio Perez comes in fourth with a collective $26m (\u00a320m).
