Daniel Ricciardo looks set to get a pay-rise after his meteoric first season with Red Bull.<\/p>\n
Australia’s Sydney Morning Herald newspaper reports that while he out-shone the quadruple world champion Sebastian Vettel in 2014, he was making “just over $1 million” for the year.<\/p>\n
That is many multiples times less than German Vettel’s salary.<\/p>\n
The newspaper said Ricciardo’s fee is now likely to be more than doubled for 2015, with significant bonuses in the offering for race wins and titles.<\/p>\n
The 25-year-old confirmed: “Yeah, I should be (paid more).\u00a0 I should get a little bit of a pay rise, so we’ll see how much that ends up being.”<\/p>\n
Despite finishing third behind only the dominant Mercedes in 2014, Ricciardo’s salary is dwarfed by many of the top drivers he defeated this year.<\/p>\n
But he said: “On average, most of us are earning a pretty good wage but the best thing is if you can make a living out of what you love.”<\/p>\n
