#18 Daniel Ricciardo, $2.5 million

Ricciardo’s career started in karts at the age of nine, and he quickly progressed to Formula Renault2.0, before he caught the eye of Red Bull Racing . He was able to turn his impressive raw pace into victories, while his good tire management played a key role in some of his best results.

After Mar Webber announced his retirement from F1, Ricciardo was confirmed as his replacement at Red Bull Racing, in 2014, and before that he starred in a Red Bull television series called ‘’Destination One’’.
