Norris’ base salary may be significantly lower than Alonso’s, but his four Grand Prix victories, P2 Drivers’ Championship finish and Constructors’ Championship title earned him an eye-watering bonus package. The Brit reportedly bagged £18.2m ($23m) in bonuses for the 2024 campaign, taking his total earnings to £27.7m ($35m).
In 2025, the Brit is targeting one step better than his P2 finish. “I certainly know I’ve got a lot of what it takes,” he said in Abu Dhabi. “There’s no doubt about that, and I’m confident in saying that.
“I clearly, and I think this year I proved not everything is where it needs to be, but even since those moments, I feel like I’ve improved a lot in the last quarter and second half of the year, a huge amount.

“So, I have what it takes. Yes, I need to improve in areas, and certain areas are not up to the level they need to be, and I’m going to work hard over the winter to improve on them, but I’ll do that and we’ll fight.”
