Can you tell me the amount

Can anyone tell me the prize money that the drivers and the team gets after every win? I have heard that the richest game is F1 and Golf. Is that true? If so then how much is the pay given to drivers by the team?

I don't really know an amount , all I know is big cash don't come from the team... It's all in sponsors and advertising. The team gets the money form there and since he is in the center of attention he deserves a bigger part. An exact amount is quite impossible to know but I think the team makes somewhere around 2-300 K / race.

2-300k$ is really a big amount. Am just wondering. Are you correct with the numbers there??? Its very huge man. I think one race is enough for me to live the rest of my life in a very luxurious way.

I heard that during yesterdays Turkish Grand Prix, Kimi Rakkoinen gets about 3 million pounds per race from Ferrari.
