Pierre Gasly’s Salary compared to Max Verstappen, Lewis Hamilton, and others
Alpine has signed a multi-million dollar deal with the Frenchman. Pierre Gasly is expected to earn over $14.5 million for the 2023 season, and a variable for the 2024 season. This will depend on the number of races conducted next year. It’s a staggering 8- figure amount which puts him in the same bracket as Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton.
