F1 Teams Net Worth 2026: Which Team Tops the Chart With $8.2 Billion?

Formula 1 has grown into one of the world’s most valuable motorsport competitions, attracting global audiences, major sponsors and investors. Its 11 teams have a combined estimated value of $50 billion in 2026, while the average valuation has reached $4.55 billion.

As reported by Sportico, the latest financial assessment describes F1 teams as “very attractive for investors,” citing rising revenues and greater potential for value growth compared with NFL and NBA teams. These figures are estimated valuations, not confirmed sale prices.

The valuations have increased by 33% in one year, underscoring the level of financial interest the sport now attracts.

Here is the countdown of the five most valuable teams.

5. Aston Martin – $4.15 Billion

Aston Martin ranks fifth with an estimated value of $4.15 billion. Its valuation rose by 38% from 2025, the biggest percentage increase among the five teams featured in this list.

The increase is especially notable because Aston Martin stood 10th in the 2026 Constructors’ Championship standings in the latest reporting. Its 38% rise exceeds the overall grid’s average increase of 33%.

4. Red Bull Racing – $5.6 Billion

Red Bull Racing is fourth at $5.6 billion, following a 30% increase over 2025. The team is valued $1.45 billion higher than Aston Martin, while McLaren sits $700 million above it.

Its 30% increase is three percentage points below the grid-wide average, but the team remains one of four constructors valued at more than $5 billion.

3. McLaren – $6.3 Billion

McLaren takes third place with an estimated value of $6.3 billion. Its valuation increased by 33% in one year, matching the average growth reported across the 11-team grid.

McLaren sits $700 million ahead of Red Bull and $1.45 billion behind Mercedes. The report also states that F1 teams generated an estimated $5.2 billion in revenue during 2025, up 16%. That is a grid-wide figure, not McLaren’s individual revenue.

2. Mercedes – $7.75 Billion

Mercedes holds second place with a valuation of $7.75 billion, up 32% from 2025. It is $450 million short of Ferrari, leaving a relatively narrow gap between the top two teams.

The financial ranking arrives after a major result on the track. Mercedes secured the 2026 Constructors’ Championship at the São Paulo Grand Prix, while Kimi Antonelli clinched the Drivers’ title.

Those achievements are part of the team’s current sporting record, but the $7.75 billion figure is a business valuation, not a prize linked to winning either championship. Its valuation is $1.45 billion higher than McLaren’s.

1. Ferrari – $8.2 Billion

Ferrari finishes the countdown as Formula 1’s most valuable team, with an estimated worth of $8.2 billion. It records a 28% increase from 2025. Ferrari has held the top position for four consecutive years.

The Italian team is $450 million ahead of Mercedes and $1.9 billion ahead of McLaren. Its last Constructors’ Championship came in 2008, a reminder that financial value and recent results on the circuit are different measures.

What the 2026 Valuations Show

The five teams in this countdown have a combined estimated value of $32 billion. Across the full 11-team grid, the total reaches $50 billion, with an average value of $4.55 billion per team. That average is 33% higher than in 2025.

The remaining six teams also recorded substantial valuations:

• Alpine – $3.28 billion (+58%)
• Williams – $3.24 billion (+51%)
• Racing Bulls – $3.05 billion (+49%)
• Audi – $3 billion (+60%)
• Haas – $2.8 billion (+67%)
• Cadillac – $2.7 billion (Debut season)

Haas recorded the largest percentage increase among the established teams, rising 67%. Cadillac has no comparable 2025 valuation because it joined the grid in 2026.

These figures show the growing value of Formula 1 and its teams. With each team bringing something different to the sport, their financial worth highlights just how big F1 has become around the world.
