Formula 1 has always been a sport for the wealthy, and even more so for those drivers who manage to reach the highest levels of the premier class. It is no coincidence, therefore, that the stars of this sport, who have won world championships after world championships and have been on the grid for over a decade, are also the richest among their colleagues. In this article, we will discover the top 10 Formula 1 drivers on the 2023 grid with the highest net worth.
The top 10 F1 drivers on the grid in 2023 with the highest net worth
In first place, it goes without saying, we find Lewis Hamilton, with an estimated net worth of £271 million. It is incredible to think of such a figure knowing where the Englishman comes from: he managed to make his way in Formula 1 despite not having a wealthy family behind him. Lewis Hamilton is also one of the few drivers to have crossed the boundaries of motorsport, becoming a global superstar.
The second position in this special ranking is occupied by veteran Fernando Alonso. The Spaniard can smile not only thanks to the performances of his Aston Martin AMR23 single-seater this year, but also by looking at his bank account. At the age of 41, the former Ferrari man has indeed been able to accumulate a capital of £216 million.
The third and fourth positions go to the two Red Bull drivers, with the two-time Dutch world champion at £72 million, despite his still “young” career in Formula 1 compared to the two aforementioned drivers. Sergio Perez is also doing quite well, with a net worth of almost £63 million. The fifth position is for the third Red Bull driver, Daniel Ricciardo. Although he is not actively present on the grid this year, the Australian can still be satisfied with his £41 million.
The sixth position goes to Lance Stroll, the son of Canadian billionaire and the current owner of the Aston Martin F1 team, Lawrence Stroll. He has so far accumulated a fortune clearly a lot lower than that of his father, but still enough to equal Daniel Ricciardo. The seventh and eighth positions are for Pierre Gasly and Valtteri Bottas, with the Frenchman at £27 million, two more than the Finnish driver at Alfa Romeo.

Surprisingly, in the ninth position we find Kevin Magnussen, who, having raced for McLaren, Renault, and Haas, has a net worth of just over £20 million. The top ten ranking is completed by the other Alpine driver, Esteban Ocon. The Frenchman, winner of the Hungarian Grand Prix in 2021, is estimated to have a net worth of almost £15 million. Illustrious drivers such as Scuderia Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz, alongside George Russell or Lando Norris are missing from the list, but we are sure they are not doing badly either.
