^^ Why the hate for Sutil?

Jenson will probably make much higher this year, not too sure about Nick Heidfeld and the rest.

Surprised Rubens B. doesn't make a lot more after his long F1 career.

One of the reasons why Ferrari don't want him anymore.

In the article, it explained the footnotes a bit, saying that Sutil, Nakajima, Grossjean and Liuzzi were being paid per race, rather than per a contract agreement for the season. It also said that Massa was contracted for $8m in 2009.

Actually, I thought I had read something, somewhere, sometime, that he was earning around $40m in salary and another $40m in endorsements.
