A few comments:
1. Vettel is overpaid.
2. Verstappen is underpaid.
3. Ricciardo is paid more at Renault then he would be on a big-three team. This is the financial benefit gained by being a top driver but not on a top team.
4. Leclerc is underpaid.
5. Valtteri Bottas is a overpaid.
6. Sainz has done well.
7. Perez should be paid more.
8, Ocon is underpaid.
9. I like the last entry...."undisclosed.". I gather he is paying.
