A report by RacingNews365.com claims to have compiled a "complete overview" of the salaries of all 20 drivers competing in the F1 2022 season, with sources from within the paddock and across teams consulted “to make the list as reliable as possible”.

It is perhaps no surprise to see both Hamilton and Max Verstappen sitting at the very top of the pile given they are F1’s most recent world champions.
