He definitely was not spending money on flights, or any other expense that comes from travelling for work, it's all paid for by the team.

yeah f1 drivers never fly private. no pressure to join his friends or ... it doesn't even matter. it was just an example of one of many things where lifestyle creep is massively massively expected of top tier athletes to share with their loved ones, family and friends.

His buddies are making 10 times what he does but no one sees it that way. They're basically different socio-economic classes and its probably hard to navigate.
