Red Bull pays out big bonus to championship winning staff

Red Bull Racing has done an amazing job to win both the Constructor’s championship and Driver’s title in the 2010 Formula 1 season, and the team’s guys and girls will be duly rewarded for a job well done. According to Bild, RBR staff will get at least a £10k bonus while the champ himself Sebastien Vettel will pocket an extra 3 million euros or £2.6m.

The energy drinks company boss Dietrich Mateschitz is rewarding every single member of RBR’s 500-strong team with £10,000 each, and up to £42,000 extra for senior staff, for delivering the titles to Milton Keynes.

But Mateschitz is just sharing the spoils of victory, as the billionaire’s team are in line to receive total prize money of £62 million for their efforts in the 2010 F1 season. That’s more than enough to cover the bonuses. And the hordes of people now buying the (admittedly cool) Puma RBR merchandise will surely replenish the team’s coffers in no time!

    £42k pounds. That amount is the annual wages of the top 10% highest paid employee in the UK. Really good amount of money

    I am proud of Vettel but still feel it should give in to Webber.
    Btw, overall it still gud for them, if Alonso won, he shud give half of the bonus to massa for being gud enuff to give in to him.
    Its really nice to see many contenders to be new world champion next year.

    the staff deserved every penny of their bonuses. the real hardwork in working in those environment are almost impossible to imagine.

    imagine how hard they had to work overnight (less than 24 hours) to repair a damaged car after their driver crashed it in saturday’s qualifying, to be ready for sunday’s race.. that’s madness

      Just wan to share..
      Set to Shutter Priority (if you are sort-of newbie)
      Set Wide Angle focus point
      Set between 1/50 to 1\100 depending light condition (just play around with the figures)
      Iso set to widest should be ok..
