Ferrari tops valuations
The gap at the top of Sportico’s latest Formula 1 team valuations put Ferrari well ahead of the rest of the grid. Mercedes followed at $7.75 billion, McLaren came in at $6.3 billion and Red Bull Racing ranked fourth at $5.6 billion. Cadillac, which joined the Formula 1 grid in 2026, landed last in the ranking at $2.7 billion. The 11 teams were valued at a combined $50 billion. The average team value rose 33% year over year to $4.55 billion and was up 197% from 2023. Cadillac’s entry gave the grid another multibillion-dollar team, even at the bottom of the valuation table. The ranking showed that Formula 1 team values had reached a wide range while remaining substantial across the field.
Formula 1 revenue
Sportico estimated that Formula 1 teams generated $5.2 billion in revenue during the 2025 season and averaged $523 million per team. Total prize-money distributions were estimated at $1.4 billion. Sponsorship remained the biggest growth driver, while cost caps had improved profitability. Sportico said 70% of Formula 1 teams were profitable in 2025. Mercedes led Formula 1 teams with $220 million in EBIT in 2025. The figures showed the scale of the series’ team revenues, prize-money distributions and operating profits.
Sportico valuation model
Sportico said it based the valuations on revenues, sponsorships and Formula 1 prize-money distributions, then adjusted the results with team-specific revenue multiples. Those multiples reflected brand strength, performance, infrastructure and future economics. The methodology therefore combined financial results with factors that could affect a team’s valuation beyond a single season. It provided a market snapshot of Formula 1 team values using both current revenues and the broader factors included in Sportico’s model.
