Indeed. The "third drivers" at Vauxhall in the mid-naughties were paying £200-250k.

I don't believe any team would get away with charging £500k for a season this year.
...That's not to say they wouldn't charge £50k for a single race weekend though.

I would expect the trucks are all parked in the paddock, and have been since about 5pm.

I don't think they will even move the cabs onto the GP loop for media day, as there are no support vehicles in the paddock, so the "parking spaces" along the fence can be used as an access route.
