A new Sportico report shows how every Formula 1 team’s value skyrocketed in 2025 — and reveals who gained, who slipped, and who shocked the paddock.
Formula 1 continues to explode commercially, with team values rising at a pace the sport has never seen before. Every entry on the 2025 grid is now worth more than $1.6 billion — a stark contrast to just a year ago, when several teams had barely crossed the $1bn mark.
New figures from Sportico place the average F1 team valuation at $3.42bn, up 48% compared to 2024. Ferrari remains the most valuable team for the third straight year, but the big headline is McLaren: boosted by back-to-back constructors’ crowns, the team posted the largest one-year jump of any squad.
Below is a team-by-team breakdown of how much every outfit is worth in 2025 — and what their new valuations reveal about performance, momentum and long-term direction.
Ferrari stay atop the valuation table at $6.4bn, rising 34% despite a quieter year on track with neither Charles Leclerc nor Lewis Hamilton securing a win. While their growth rate slowed sharply from last year’s surge, the team’s heritage, global brand power and fanbase continue to anchor Ferrari comfortably at No.1.
Mercedes climbed to $5.88bn — a striking 49% jump year-on-year — maintaining second place even after losing Hamilton to Ferrari. Strong results from George Russell and rookie Kimi Antonelli, including multiple wins and podiums, helped sustain momentum and financial strength in 2025.
McLaren soared to $4.73bn after a staggering 78% valuation increase, the highest of any team this year. With both drivers in the title hunt and back-to-back constructors’ championships secured, McLaren overtook Red Bull for third place, marking their second straight year of exceptional commercial growth.
Red Bull slipped to fourth at $4.32bn, posting a more modest 23% rise as team turmoil slowed progress. Christian Horner’s departure, leadership instability and a rotating second seat placed added pressure on Max Verstappen — ultimately softening Red Bull’s valuation climb compared to previous seasons.
Aston Martin reached a $3bn valuation, up 45% but still one of the lower growth rates in the field. Despite signing star designer Adrian Newey for 2026, the team endured a difficult 2025 season and slid down the standings — limiting what could have been a stronger financial boost.
Williams enjoyed a remarkable revival, climbing to $2.14bn with a 73% increase thanks to shrewd restructuring under James Vowles. The high-profile signing of Carlos Sainz and the team’s first title sponsor in five years, Atlassian, delivered major revenue gains and positioned Williams firmly back in the midfield.
Alpine reached $2.08bn following a 39% increase, though they dropped in the rankings during a season plagued by instability. With management shake-ups, driver swaps and only Pierre Gasly scoring points, Alpine’s valuation rise reflects long-term potential more than short-term competitiveness.
Racing Bulls jumped to $2.05bn after a strong 68% increase, outperforming many rivals despite remaining eighth in the standings. Leadership changes and a decisive early-season driver switch paid off, allowing the team to show significant commercial strength even without major results on track.
Sauber rose to $1.88bn — a 57% valuation increase — as the team prepared for its full transition to Audi in 2026. With new sponsorship deals and the factory-backed takeover complete, the Swiss squad is expected to keep rising under the Audi banner next season.
Haas reached $1.68bn after a 65% rise, maintaining last place but showing its strongest financial upswing since joining F1. A refreshed lineup with Esteban Ocon and Oliver Bearman, plus consistent points finishes, helped Haas climb further past the $1bn mark and build momentum toward the $2bn threshold.
