In November 2023, Forbes magazine ranked Hamilton second in the salary ranking of Formula 1 drivers. The 38-year-old pilot received about $55 million for the year. In terms of sporting results, the year was unsuccessful for the Briton. He took the final third place in the individual competition, but did not win a single Grand Prix. In addition, throughout the entire season, Hamilton stood on the podium only five times – this is his worst result since 2013. Despite this, Mercedes management expressed confidence in the Briton. At the end of August, Hamilton, like his teammate George Russell, extended his contract with the team until 2025. Lewis’s salary, according to the British publication The Sun, amounted to 50 million pounds sterling (about $63 million) per year.
