I agree, they have tremendous skills, driving an F1 car basically flawlessly takes A LOT of skill, concentration, bravery and composure
However, 35m a year is beyond a joke really, that means these F1 drivers can expect to earn 350-700m during their careers, retire in their mid 30s, and live of that for the rest of their lives.
While others may do other jobs which take a lot of skill, say a physicist who works out new things using long equations that take days to work out, or a simple mechanic who might have wierd jobs like replacing engines, or even the pitcrew for F1 cars are extrememly skilled - jack the car up, 4 brand new tyres, gallons of fuel, all done in 6s.
I dont see them living off 35m a year
But definetly - F1 drivers are very very skilled and are superhuman that deserve to be millionaires.
