2 m - Ott Tanak
1.5 m - Craig Breen
1 m - Jari-Matti Latvala
1 m - Elfyn Evans

Could it be real? Hard to believe in M-Sport drivers salaries, and no Sordo in list.

How could one amateur website suddenly get hold of all WRC driver's salaries? Come on...

Nope. Mikkelsen have been driving for free this year (personal sponsors not included, but that's supposedly not included in the list either).

Joke. Citroen paying 1.5 mil. to Breen, a developing new driver who is greatful of having the chance of driving a WRC car on 10(?) events and only 500k to their main driver, the one who was thought to be fighting for the title in his developed car. Also, Mikkelsen was doing it for free this year if i remember correctly?

Original source is showed in the article - TSM Sportz. Found original one - http://tsmsportz.com/list/highest-paid-rally-drivers/

Imo - way too less for Ogier, way too high for Tanak. Non factory team (Ford) have the highest salary level?! And Tanak is leaving
winning team with higest salary level to weaker team with the low salary level... This is not serious.

[Tarmop]

Ogier`s salary is realistic, as they didn`t count personal sponsors i believe? 3.5 from Wilson, more from sponsors.

Mikkelsen listed as VW motorsport II driver, in original article, while he isn't anymore..

That article reads like it was written by some underpaid Indian at a content mill. It's just total nonsense based on what we know, and it appears to be mainly based on the championship standings at the time.

Here's my guesstimate for real drivers salaries based on rumors and conjecture. Not including bonuses for wins or sponsor money.

$9.2M - Sebastian Ogier
$1.5M - Jari-Matti Latvala
$1M - Thierry Neuville
$500k - Kris Meeke
$300k - Juho Hanninen
$150k - Hayden Paddon
$100k - Esapekka Lappi
$100k - Dani Sordo
$50k - Ott Tanak
$50k - Elfyn Evans
$0 - Craig Breen
$0 - Andreas Mikkelsen
$0 - Stephane Lefebvre
$0 - Eric Camilli

Thoughts?

i think this article has things messed up and wrong in many ways...according to rumours Tänak will be getting 2.5 mil in Toyota not in m-sport at the moment....his m-sport salary doesnt even reach 100 000 in a year at the moment. (at least this is what i was told)
