It’s no secret driving at the pinnacle of motor racing comes with a hefty reward. What’s more, driving for one of the teams which are competing for the championships comes with additional bonuses.

Red Bull’s Max Verstappen, who is fighting for his maiden driver’s championship, enjoyed a massive hike in salary this season. The Dutchman is expected to earn a whopping $42 million at the end of the season, which also includes an eye-watering $17 million bonus.

Earlier this season, Max Verstappen purchased a 120-ft yacht named ‘Bagheera’ for an estimated price of $6 million.

This luxurious boat accommodates nine guests and comprises an infinity jacuzzi. The other facilities include an iPod dock, a bar, beautiful bathrooms, and plenty of places to lounge. The Bagheera has a top speed of 55 KMPH and is available for rent for 100,000 dollars per week.

“The next two circuits in Mexico and Brazil, at higher altitudes, we see that the layout of the Honda power unit really seems to work well at the higher altitudes. It seems to generate more power,” said Martin Brundle.

“We don’t know about Qatar. For example, that’s a completely new grand prix, so is Saudi Arabia, so they’re great unknowns. It’s even-stevens I’d say, for the last six races,” concluded the former British driver.
