The comparison is interesting because it shows the standard of living that a Formula 1 driver can have, which in some cases is comparable to that of some soccer players in the world's elite leagues, such as the Premier League or Ligue 1, to name a few. And even though Sergio Perez is not yet one of the highest-paid drivers in F1, it is astonishing to know that his lifestyle still allows him to have collector cars in his garage.

And what is more surprising is the value of those collector cars, of which the driver has only 2, but he is interested in continuing to increase his collection, which will happen as he keeps winning competitions, which could make him demand a better payment from his sponsors, who lately are very happy with his performance on the track. 

The cars in Checo Perez's collection, are worth more than Higor Meritao's floor of Pumas UNAM

The F1 driver has in his garage a Subaru Impreza WRX STI, a vehicle of the Japanese brand that has an approximate value of one hundred thousand dollars, but he also owns a McLaren Spider MP4-12c, which has a 90° V8 engine M838T Biturbo of 3799 cm, and a seven-speed dual transmission, so its price reaches two hundred thousand dollars.

In total, Perez has a little more than 300 thousand dollars in his garage, a price that far exceeds the salary currently received by Higor Meritao, defensive midfielder of Pumas UNAM, who earns a little more than 152 thousand dollars per season. This way one can realize the amount of money that circulates in F1, which in some cases can exceed the amounts that circulate in Liga MX.
