Ferrari dominates the ranking of Formula 1’s most valuable teams, followed by Mercedes and McLaren
A new financial analysis published by Sportico reshapes the economic landscape of Formula 1 and confirms unprecedented growth across the entire paddock. Leading the list is Ferrari, reaching an estimated value of 6.4 billion dollars — an all-time record in F1 history. The Prancing Horse places a clear gap between itself and its closest rivals, with Mercedes valued at 5.8 billion and McLaren at 4.7 billion. This podium reflects not only the sporting and commercial strength of these iconic brands, but also the new economic model that Liberty Media has built around Formula 1 in recent years.
The entire F1 ecosystem is expanding rapidly
The most surprising element, however, is not just Ferrari’s lead, but the overall value of the teams. According to the report, the ten Formula 1 outfits are now collectively worth 34 billion dollars, with an average valuation of 3.4 billion per team. This financial boom did not happen by chance: it is the result of the radical transformation implemented by Liberty Media since 2016. Formula 1 has evolved into a global commercial empire, generating revenue primarily through international TV rights, sponsors willing to pay enormous amounts for mere seconds of visibility, increasingly sophisticated marketing activations, licensing and digital strategies, and the explosive growth of emerging markets eager to host a Grand Prix. Today, Formula 1 is a perfectly tuned machine capable of attracting investors, younger audiences, and governments ready to commit substantial resources.
Even the smaller teams now have a solid financial base
The detailed valuation ranking confirms the strength of historic brands while also highlighting the rising value of smaller outfits under the new F1 economic structure. Behind Ferrari, Mercedes and McLaren come Red Bull Racing at 4.32 billion, Aston Martin at 3 billion, Alpine at 2.14 billion, and Williams at 2.08 billion, with Racing Bulls and Sauber just below the two-billion threshold. Closing the grid is Haas, valued at 1.68 billion — still a remarkable increase compared to previous years. These figures illustrate a Formula 1 that is more stable than ever, where even the smallest teams have become multi-billion-dollar investments positioned for long-term growth.
