German engineers took 90,000 hours to design the car and another 200,000 hours to manufacture it. This sports vehicle was made out of titanium, aluminum, magnesium, carbon and fiber with a weight slightly over 600 kg. Schumacher was the highest paid driver of the Formula 1 2010. Mercedes acknowledges him as their star driver with a $6 million salary, but later it was revealed that they paid him the basic salary of around $21 million and $9 million in private support.
