Alexander Wurz called for research into the impact of a driver salary cap – but said there are no plans on the table right now to implement such a policy in Formula 1.
The Austrian is a veteran of 69 F1 races in his own driving career, which spanned 11 seasons between 1997 and 2007. He has been chairman of the Grand Prix Drivers' Association (GPDA) since 2014, working with the other directors Sebastian Vettel, George Russell and lawyer Anastasia Fowle.
A driver salary cap has been proposed in the past, to potentially be implemented alongside the new annual budget constraints with which each team has to comply. At present, Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen are the highest paid drivers with annual salaries of around £35m each.
