Lewis Hamilton is F1's richest driver in 2025

As the 2025 Formula 1 season begins, Lewis Hamilton is now the richest driver on the grid, with a net worth of £350 million. This surpasses the combined worth of Max Verstappen, Charles Leclerc, and Lando Norris. Hamilton's wealth has increased significantly, partly due to his new contract with Ferrari, which pays him £77.3 million annually. This marks a notable shift, as Verstappen, previously the highest-paid driver, is now worth £168 million. The season also features six new drivers, including Andrea Kimi Antonelli and Gabriel Bortoleto, both earning £1.6 million in their rookie seasons. Other drivers like George Russell and Esteban Ocon have net worths of £12.4 million and £16.2 million, respectively.
