Ocon earns €5m or something and if Gasly earns €15m, don't really know what's going on with Otmar and Laurent management. Both have similar contract length with the similar background of achievement also. This would be crazy overpay.&quot;Fadhil@Fadhillakbar473@formularacers_ Don't even think Gasly is better than Ocon.
