Have to remember when they were signed.
Lappi got signed mid 2018 after he was clearly faster than Latvala whole first half of the season. So salary compared with Latvala (who was re-signed about at that point) as well as others is somewhat ok.

Mikkelsen got signed in 2017 either after Spain or GB, meaning right after he finished 2nd in Germany in C3 and then led Spain in his first day in the i20 and finished 4th in GB minutes ahead of Sordo/Paddon in same car. So at that point his value was quite high, matching this salary.

The biggest take there is how little money Evans gets, but again he was probably re-signed at end of last year when only good result was one podium from Spain and people wondering if he will continue at all.
