All Ferrari employees will receive a huge Christmas bonus this year

They already have some of the best jobs in the world. And now all employees at Ferrari's Formula 1 team can look forward to a gigantic Christmas bonus this year.

It's bonus time in Maranello! All Ferrari Formula 1 employees can look forward to a gigantic Christmas bonus on top of their December salary.

Even though it didn't result in a victory in the constructors' championship, with Ferrari having to settle for second place behind McLaren, it still resulted in a handsome bonus for dedicated employees.

This is what F1 Oversteer writes.

The Formula 1 season ended with the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, where Max Verstappen took victory, while Ferrari's Charles Leclerc crossed the finish line in fourth place.

McLaren won the constructors' championship, which has existed since 1958, and of which Ferrari is the only team to have participated in every season.

McLaren hasn't actually won a constructors' championship since 1998. That's a whole 26 years. Neither of the team's two drivers are that old.

Liberty Media, which owns the rights to Formula 1, will distribute a prize money of just over one billion kroner to the winning team, while the team in tenth place will receive just under 415 million Danish kroner.

Ferrari has a tradition of giving its employees a Christmas bonus, and this year approximately 115,000 Danish kroner will land in each employee's account as a thank you for their efforts.

– If they had won the constructors' championship, the bonus would have been even higher, it says.

The employees at the factory in Maranello, where the passenger cars are built, can't exactly feel cheated, however. Not only has the factory been voted Italy's best workplace. Every single employee has also received wild bonus payments. Read more about it here .

Not all car brands' employees will receive bonuses this year. Far from it, actually. For example, Volkswagen's management will ask all its employees to take a pay cut.

Otherwise, layoffs await. VW management also insists that factory closures in Germany are necessary. Something the group has never done otherwise. At the same time, Volkswagen's chief executive Thomas Schäfer is calling for support for electric cars for at least another five years if drivers are to have access to cheap electric cars.
