Every 2026 Formula 1 drivers’ net worth as Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen dwarf rivals

Lewis Hamilton, Max Verstappen and Fernando Alonso have the highest F1 net worths

It should not come as a surprise to see world champions Lewis Hamilton, Max Verstappen and Fernando Alonso at the top of the list. Given their success, they dwarf their rivals when it comes to net worth.

However, according to F1 Salaries, it is actually Alonso who has the highest net worth. He is estimated to be worth between $260-$400m, or £297.5m at the highest valuation.

Hamilton is second with an estimated net worth of £186-£223m, while Verstappen completed the top three at £156m. Charles Leclerc is the only other driver to have a net worth in the nine-figure range in dollars, standing at a maximum of 92 million pounds.

Sergio Perez’s huge backing from various sponsors puts him in the top five, while Carlos Sainz and Lance Stroll both have a net worth of $50m, or £37m.

World champion Lando Norris, McLaren teammate Oscar Piastri and Mercedes’ George Russell also rank high on the list. But some names are lagging behind the frontrunners by some distance.

Seven F1 drivers have a net worth of less than £10 million

Every rookie from the past 12 months is not valued at over £10m, which is presumably down to the fact that they have not been in F1 long enough to earn that much.

Of the 2025 rookies, Kimi Antonelli is said to have the highest net worth, with Franco Colapinto not far behind thanks to his various sponsors in Argentina.

Red Bull’s new signing, Isack Hadjar, is valued at under a million pounds, as is his 2025 Racing Bulls teammate Liam Lawson. The Kiwi driver’s 2026 partner, Arvid Lindblad, is the only driver whose net worth is unknown.
