The 2025 Formula 1 season brought notable changes in prize money distribution, reflecting shifts in the Constructors’ Championship standings. Ferrari’s difficult season, which saw the team drop from second to fourth place compared to 2024, resulted in a $10 million decrease in earnings. However, the Scuderia softened the blow thanks to the growing overall prize pool, which continues to expand each year.

Alpine, finishing last, still received $75 million, six million more than Sauber/Audi earned in 2024. Williams made a remarkable leap from ninth to fifth place, securing an additional $51 million.
