If that's Euros then it's about £160,000 per week, that's well in the range of top paid sportsmen.

Mikkelsen & Neuville both come from wealthy families. Very wealthy in Mikkelsen's case. Both of them could afford a Monaco apartment just as a storage unit.

I sounds like the Seb's have been the only ones that earned well as none the rest could really fight them for a title.

Maybe when VW left others were in with a better chance so got paid more. But if they already had a contract I wonder if any re-negociated ?

I bet Grönholm made good money and Ogier at VW too. But the times of big salaries pretty much ended mid 2000

Neuville from a wealthy family is BS. They are nothing special. And Thierry his career got not launched by daddy but because of winning RACB contest and the Fiesta ST trophy (car was funded by RACB).
