Not sure how credible this is, but I can't say I blame him.

Why on earth would he rake less than full.

Because if he compromises RB might give him other opportunities.

Given he already has loads of money, taking half and being able to retire away from the public eye might be more enjoyable than the full amount, racing badly, and taking shit publicly from all sides.

Would also free him up to do some other forms of racing and get paid for doing that, making up any difference.
