LEWIS HAMILTON stands on the brink of F1 greatness this weekend as he takes on Max Verstappen in the final race of the season. Verstappen can win his first ever title at the age of 24, while Hamilton is gunning to win an historic EIGHTH championship. And if Hamilton wins, he’s set to get a hefty bonus. A Hamilton win would also release an eye-watering £17.5m in bonus money to be paid among Mercedes staff working at their Brackley HQ. Verstappen is paid roughly £18.5m-a-year by Red Bull and will also likely receive a big bonus if he wins on Sunday.
