Formula 1’s stars are built for speed—but their off-track numbers tell a different kind of story.
There are currently 22 drivers on the Formula 1 grid. all of whom have reached the top of the sport and earned coveted spots in the racing world. And while the 2026 season is underway—this weekend’s stop is the Canadian Grand Prix—attention is also turning to another race: who’s amassed the biggest estimated net worth.
So far this year, Mercedes has been dominant, with Ferrari right behind them after just four races. But the season hasn’t moved in a perfectly straight line. Two April grands prix were canceled due to conflict in the Middle East, and the remainder of the calendar is set to move forward as scheduled.
In a sport where performance is only part of the equation. success on track is often tied to bigger earning power. Drivers can convert results into sponsorship deals. growing fan bases. and the kind of marketability teams and brands want to attach themselves to. Experience matters, too—along with how well a driver performs and how reliably that performance turns into value.
The ranking focuses on how much this year’s drivers are worth. ordering each F1 star by estimated net worth from lowest to highest. By the time you reach the top of the list. the numbers land with force: the two or three drivers with the biggest net worth all have over a whopping $200 million estimated worth.
