How can Chilton be earning more money than Kobayashi?

i take anything like this with a pinch of salt. Deals for drivers can be so complex, so to imagine they draw a salary like me and you is potentially misleading

I would wager Hamilton's commercial portfolio is the largest

yeh i agree, him and alonso are the most marketable drivers

I suppose the less experienced drivers get less money. Usually the teams down at the back of the grid like drivers that bring in a lot of sponsers like Maldonado over a slightly better driver so in a way it is not suprising.

Thought Hamilton was paid a lot more. Mercedes need to fork out some cash, he should at least be on par with Alonso

...................
Max Chilton is my favourite driver he finishes most races and drives really slow due to rally crossing/drifting around corners. He crashed into Bianchi due to Rally drifting through a corner.

That ended his 26 consecutive race finishes mainly last
