    Well, "winning" pays the most, but as you see from Alesi, even making the field and racing a short time generates a nice Pay Day.

    Maybe some others will know more, about the formula.

    I thought Alesi's post race exit interview was one of the finest I have seen, his enthusiasm for the event, his vow to "Return next year"...

    Really showed the importance and respect the European drivers have for the place....

    They throw darts at a wall!

    No just kidding!

    I haven't dug into the article, but i believe this is the total payouts.

    Winnings are based on a number of things. Laps led, Poll, Finishing spot, Pit Challenge etc.

    Also fun fact, every drivers contract is different. Some drivers get to keep certain winnings and others just take a straight payment from their race team meaning the winnings go to the team.
