  If I'm not wrong it is about 80 million?

  True...but that figure includes his product endorsements.

  Nah, I believe the 80 mill includes endorsement money.
  
  Anyway, I'll wait and see if Kimi's worth the 30 - the extra dosh would be for his keeping things going when the chips are down, and I haven't really seen any prior evidence of his being able to do that.

  It's probably because Kimi came to Ferrari with more wins and Macca were already paying him a considerable sum. Massa started out at the team as a test-driver with little more than a reputation for being fast but mistake-prone.
  
  I really want to know why Ralf is worth more than DC and Rubinho even though they have won more races.
