Lewis Hamilton:Who is he?.And how much does he earn?.



Lewis Hamilton has hit the ground running since the lights went out on the first race in Melbourn.With a third and two second places-and showing no fear when he has Kimi or Alonso breathing down his neck-it's just a matter of time before he gets his first win.There are three races coming up Spain,Monaco and Canada that Lewis has raced before in GP2.If he can beat the best on tracks he does not know,what will he do on the ones he does?.But the heat is going to turned up by Fernado Alonso and Kimi Raikkonen;so Lewis is going to have to hold his nerve.
So the big question is how much is Lewis being payed by McLaren in his first rookie year? Well Kimi Raikkonen has taken over from Michael Schumacher* as the highest earner with an estimated salary of $52million and second to that is double world champion Fernando Alonso who is earning up to $35million per season.
Lewis in his rookie year is a relative pauper in comparison,being payed about $2.5million.Watch the video to see Lewis leaving the grid like scalded cat in the resent Spanish GP.

*Michael Schumacher has earned to-date an estimated $750million and that figure is increasing all the time.
