*Cries into empty wallet*
It’s well known that the Drive to Survive racers are paid the big bucks, but seeing the Formula 1 drivers’ net worth puts things into perspective.
Surprisingly, their net worth isn’t linear regarding their 2023 rankings. For example, Lewis Hamilton, who took a hit and ranked 7th in the 2024 standings, has a net worth of over half a billion Australian dollars. Meanwhile, our Aussie racer Oscar Piastri‘s contract’s base salary for the same year was only (!) in the eight figures, despite ranking fourth.
Find out the eye-watering net worths of the drivers who made the top 10 in the 2024 Formula 1 season.
