Mercedes Revenue and Profit Margins in Formula 1
The €739 million revenue figure and €219 million EBITDA underline the financial strength underpinning the team that signed Italian driver Kimi Antonelli as a teenager. Antonelli, now 20 years old and a native of Bologna, enters his career path backed by a financially strong organization. Financial comparisons place the Formula 1 constructor immediately behind leading North American sports franchises, operating as the sole non-American entry within the global top ten for sports team profitability.

Financial evaluations of worldwide sports organizations place Mercedes fourth overall behind a leading podium controlled by NFL and NBA franchises. The Dallas Cowboys lead all global sports entities with €599 million in revenue, followed by the Golden State Warriors of the NBA and the NFL’s Los Angeles Rams.
