Kimi the top earner in Formula One
"With the retirement of Michael Schumacher, his replacement at Ferrari has inherited the envious mantle as Formula One's highest earner.
Kimi Raikkonen, to make his test debut for the Italian squad in January, will in 2007 earn about a million US dollars per week, according to the Swiss daily newspaper Blick.
The publication said the Finn's annual income will surpass $51m.
Schumacher, on the other hand, has retired to his Swiss mansion with a personal fortune of more than an estimated $800m, while his role as Jean Todt's 'assistant' next year - and continuing sponsorship contracts - should see the German maintaining a more than $10 million annual income.
The seven time world champion's 2007 income is only marginally less than brother Ralf and Jenson Button's $16 million for driving for respectively Toyota and Honda, but more than Giancarlo Fisichella and Felipe Massa at approximately $10m.
British specialist magazine F1 Racing lists back to back world champion Fernando Alonso's 2007 wage at $35m, while rookie hotshots Robert Kubica, Lewis Hamilton and Heikki Kovalainen will all make less than $2.8m each."

Any doubts on who's the number one driver for Ferrari in 2007?
You don't spend $40m more per year for a driver to give him equal priority as the other one.

Re: Kimi the top earner in Formula One
^ That's actually a blessing in disguise as the pressure would be on Kimi to show every race why is he actually the No.1 and for what exactly he is paid $ 50m.
Massa can be the underdog and turn the applecart down every race  |

Re: Kimi the top earner in Formula One
I actually think Massa has potential to be future world champion...winning two races in your first season with a top flight team, racing alongside the greatest driver of all time, is not a joke...
