Formula One team values surpassed fifty billion dollars in total, according to financial data published by Sportico.
That aggregate figure places the sport’s economic footprint on par with the gross domestic product of Estonia. The annual valuation study tracks a twenty-three percent increase across the grid since the previous assessment, driven by surging global media rights and commercial revenue.
Sportico calculated the combined worth of the grid at fifty billion dollars, or roughly 45.5 billion euros. The data highlights an exponential trajectory for the championship’s enterprise value.
Ferrari leads the financial rankings with a valuation of 7.5 billion euros, representing a twenty-eight percent increase from 2025 values.
The Italian constructor maintains its position as the most valuable asset in motorsport despite recording one of the slower growth rates among competitors. That narrower margin reflects how rapidly the rest of the field is catching up to the historical benchmark.
Mercedes holds second place in the valuation table at seven billion euros, marking a thirty-two percent year-on-year rise following its recent constructors’ title campaign. McLaren occupies third position at 5.7 billion euros after a thirty-three percent jump.
Every team on the Formula One grid is now valued above two billion dollars, placing them alongside elite franchises in North American leagues like the NFL and NBA.
Red Bull stands at five billion dollars, while the newcomer Cadillac operation is valued at 2.5 billion dollars. Cadillac sits just behind the Haas squad, which recorded the highest growth rate on the grid at sixty-seven percent compared to 2025.
Sportico reported that the collective value of Formula One teams has surged by 197 percent since 2023. Over the same three-year window, the NHL grew by eighty-five percent and the NFL by eighty-one percent.
The championship’s traveling infrastructure and expanding international calendar separate its commercial model from traditional domestic sports leagues. Motor sports innovation and broad sponsorship portfolios continue to attract new audiences across multiple continents.
Ferrari retains its status as a premier global brand regardless of its weekend race results. Eleven distinct operations now offer substantial profit margins.
The next official financial update from Sportico will follow the conclusion of the upcoming racing season.
