Sebastian Vettel has hastily negotiated a new clause for his 2009 Red Bull contract.Pre-season, the 21-year-old did not imagine the possibility that he would be a leading candidate to win the drivers' title.
Most top drivers' contracts include the promise of a financial bonus in the event of a World Championship triumph.
Germany's Bild newspaper reported that, with the assistance of his father Norbert, Vettel convinced team boss Christian Horner to offer a ten percent title bonus.
It is therefore estimated that Vettel will be paid an additional $350,000 on top of his $3.5m retainer if he beats his rivals to the crown.
Horner confirmed: "It would have been stupid if he didn't want that (clause), and Sebastian is absolutely not stupid."
