The salaries of all 20 drivers on the Formula One grid have been revealed ahead of the start of the 2025 season.

It's just three weeks until the 2025 F1 season gets underway in Melbourne, and fans are eager to learn every single detail they can before the lights go out for the first race of the season.

Ahead of the season, several new drivers have joined the grid, while veterans like Lewis Hamilton and Carlos Sainz Jr made huge moves to other teams, meaning there were several new deals signed for 2025.

And now, some of the details of these new contracts have emerged, as the salaries of all 20 drivers have reportedly been revealed.

F1 drivers are widely regarded as some of the highest paid athletes in the world of sports, with many of them living in the luxurious Monte Carlo.

It therefore comes as no surprise that almost every driver on the gird is comfortably earning more than £1million as their base salaries this season, with many earning significantly more.

As expected, after winning the last four titles, it is Max Verstappen who leads the way for expected earnings in 2025, as he is reportedly earning a massive £65m at Red Bull.

The Dutchman is closely followed by former rival Hamilton who, after securing a shock move from Mercedes to Ferrari, earned himself a nice pay rise of £15m with a total base salary of £60m.

Once various bonuses and several off-track deals are added to his base salary, it is believed that his total income will be around $100million (£79.24m).
