“Clearly the drivers will have an opinion on that. Maybe as a driver I would say the same thing.” F1
Toto Wolff puts the ‘controversial topic’ of a driver salary cap back on the tableToto Wolff has urged Formula 1 to discuss a potential driver salary cap, the team boss saying salaries could be offset by endorsement deals.
With Formula 1 taking action to curb costs, the sport hoping in time it will play a role in levelling the playing field, Wolff reckons it is time for the drivers’ salaries to be included.. “We can see we are facing a very difficult situation in F1 overall.“But we have a cost cap. We have $140million for 1,000 people. With inflation, we haven’t been able to even pay the inflation.“Clearly the drivers will have an opinion on that. Maybe as a driver I would say the same thing.
“Therefore it is certainly clear this will be one of the main areas because you can’t simply have a salary bill at some of the top teams that is 30, 40, 50 million when the rest of the team needs to be divided into 140m. “So why would the drivers with their IP rights and everything be capped, [the people] who actually bring the show and put their lives at risk? Because we do, eventually.Lando Norris questioned the impact it would have on the next generation, many of whom have companies investing in their careers.
