@lemmy.mlYou do know that the salaries of the top 3 highest paid team members are excluded from the cost cap right? And the salaries of the drivers too by the way, so 5 people in total.
Why? Many drivers started out in lower teams and then progressed to teams higher up the grid. Team bosses know how each car should classify and take that into account when evaluating a driver. Plus the fact that he is still a Ferrari-junior of course.
Heck, Leclerc started in Sauber himself. Russel in Williams, Vettel in Sauber, Alonso in Minardi, Kimi also in Sauber, Schumacher in Jordan. The examples are many...
Should have gone with the ink-subscription Fred. After all, it's only 50 bucks per month...
I would guess because this stands out more.
HP is not paying a huge amount of money just to go unnoticed.
They were on different strategies because Leclerc didn't perform as well in quali. Still on him in my opinion.
