And this doesn’t even include sponsorships, of which Max and Lewis have significantly more than Yuki and Logan, it seems crazy to me that a single fine can be a driver’s whole salary for the entire season. It’s just running into the same problem that speeding tickets have for regular people: the same ticket could mean not making rent for one person, and be pocket change for someone else.

I have very little idea about the salary of everyone on the grid, but according to a random article I found on the internet:
Max Verstappen - $55,000,000
Lewis Hamilton - $35,000,000
Charles Leclerc - $24,000,000
…
Oscar Piastri - $2,000,000
Yuki Tsunoda - $1,000,000
Logan Sergeant - $1,000,000

Yeah if they want to raise the fines, then fine the multi millionaires more than the Magnussens please .
I get your point, but the Magnussens are also mult-millionaires
