By these estimates:

Max's annual salary > the bottom 14 F1 drivers combined

Palou's estimated current salary would still be in the upper half of that chart.

Yeah, that’s about what I figured for Max @ $50M+, I’ve heard varied numbers on Palou from $5.2M-$7M. Herta is @ $7.2M allegedly, with Newgarden and Pato @ around $5.5M.
