Formula 1 champion Max Verstappen made more than Manchester United emerging star Alejandro Garnacho does weekly in every single lap he completes. Verstappen made over \u00a350,000 each lap this past season – of which he completed 1,325 in his 2023 season – in which he went on to dominate and win a third consecutive championship.<\/p>\n
That would mean around every 90 seconds or so while he races, Verstappen makes over \u00a350,000 – more than Garnacho’s weekly salary. Verstappen topped the Forbes List for the highest-paid F1 drivers, earning as much as \u00a355 million after another dominant season driving for Red Bull – blowing away his competition.<\/p>\n
The Dutch driver earned a \u00a335 million base salary last season while adding numerous bonuses adding up to \u00a320 million – putting him well ahead of second-place Lewis Hamilton who received \u00a343 million with Fernando Alonso getting \u00a326 million in third place.<\/p>\n
The 26-year-old set multiple records in 2023, winning 19 races and earning 575 points – both the most ever in a single season with the Dutchman already going down as one of the best drivers of all-time.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
This comes after his incredible 2022 season where he also won the championship, while making \u00a347 million during the season.<\/p>\n
Verstappen was signed to a five-year deal with Red Bull in 2022, with the team back dominating once again as they had 10 years prior when Sebastian Vettel won four consecutive championships.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Garnacho has garnered international attention in the soccer world after scoring an incredible goal against Everton in the Premier League – finding the top corner with an athletic bicycle kick.<\/p>\n
