British Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton has lost about $ 5.3 million due to the fact that he could not become the winner of the world championship in auto racing in the car class “Formula 1”. Reported by The Sun.
According to the source, this amount was due to the 36-year-old Briton for winning a record eighth career title. It is noted that Mercedes won the Constructors’ Cup, so the team’s headquarters and plant employees will receive a bonus of at least $ 13,000.
On December 12, Hamilton missed out on the Formula 1 championship, losing in the final race at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix to Dutch Red Bull driver Max Verstappen. Mercedes management expressed dissatisfaction with the results of the race and sent two protests to the International Motorsport Federation, which were rejected.
Hamilton seven times became the champion of “Formula 1”. For Verstappen, who has been in the championship since 2015, the title was the first in his career.
