Prize Pool:

The Dutch Grand Prix prize fund has not yet been formally revealed. Formula 1 races often award the competing teams a sizeable sum of prize money based on their performance. Closer to the event date, the precise information surrounding the prize pool will probably be made public. However, we can get an indication by looking at the pool reward from the previous year.
There is no direct cash reward for winning the Grand Prix. After the race, the drivers on the podium receive a trophy (most contracts allow teams to keep the original trophy and make a replica for their driver(s) at their sole discretion) and champagne, as well as championship points for the top 10 drivers.

The point system is as follows:
1st. 25 pts
2nd. 18pts
3rd. 15pts
4th. 12pts
5th. 10pts
6th. 8pts
7th. 6pts
8th. 4pts
9th. 2pts
10th.1pt

These points are accumulated by each driver and team over the course of the season. The driver and team with the most points at the end of the season win the drivers’ and constructors’ championships.

For the drivers themselves, race wins will usually incur a salary bonus (this is why teammates often get paid different amounts of money) and make the driver who won more popular and worth more to other racers.
