I was reading a forum where they mentioned Liam Lawson was shaping up to be New Zealand's second
most successful person in motorsport this era after Angela Cullen and linked to the following
article. I found it interesting, maybe you will.

Interesting, thanks for this. I didn't know she was from New Zealand but I wonder if that really matters anymore with her family in France and 10 months on the circuit.
Cheers. Her husband Silas is a New Zealander too (as well as being a sportsperson turned
'trainer'), they only live in Europe because that's where their work is. Like most successful NZers
who go overseas to work they'll probably bring their family 'home' when they retire.
On the nosey side, I wonder how much she gets paid? Probably a fraction of what Lewis takes in.
The gos is it's only 100k pounds a year from her agency Hintsa Performance (maybe she gets bonuses
from Lewis / Merc?) but she also gets endorsement deals and (again found on teh webz) she's 'worth'
$15 million.
I remember reading about how much pro golfer's caddies get paid and, I think, there was a % of winnings deal for the better ones. Which leads to another question, how much are the actual prize purses in F1. Or is that even part of the sport?
As I understand it there are no longer 'grand prix' (big prizes) for each race, just the FOM payout
at the end of the year to the teams. Drivers salaries are of course negotiated with teams and could
have performance bonuses included.
