F1’s most valuable teams revealed as £5bn giants top list after major transfer swoop | F1 | Sport

Ferrari are the most valuable F1 team on the grid according to Forbes’ 2025 rankings following the signing of seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton. The Scuderia, worth an estimated £5billion ($6.5bn), finished ahead of rivals Mercedes, McLaren and Red Bull in the list.

The Italian constructor has endured a torrid 2025 campaign on track. Heading into the season-closing triple header, Ferrari remain winless this season, and marquee signing Hamilton has failed to stand on the podium in his first 21 Grands Prix with his new squad.

However, this has not impacted the team’s bottom line. According to Forbes’ 2025 rankings, released ahead of the Las Vegas Grand Prix, Ferrari are the most valuable team on the grid, worth an estimated £5bn.

Second on the list was Mercedes, who are on course to finish in that same position in the Constructors’ Championship amid Kimi Antonelli’s rookie season. With George Russell tied down to a long-term contract, the Silver Arrows’ £4.6bn ($6bn) valuation is only likely to rise at the start of the new technical regulations.

McLaren pipped Red Bull to third on the list. Now valued at £3.4bn ($4.4bn), the Woking-based squad have won back-to-back Constructors’ titles, capping a remarkable comeback story under Zak Brown’s stewardship. At the end of the 2010s, they were reliability-riddled midfield strugglers, and in 2025, they will crown a new world champion.

Red Bull are reportedly only marginally less valuable than their rivals, priced at £3.3bn ($4.35bn). The Milton Keynes squad fired Christian Horner in July and replaced him with Laurent Mekies, although this was only just enough to retain the services of four-time world champion Max Verstappen.

Aston Martin lead the midfield at £2.5bn ($3.2bn) as Lawrence Stroll’s plan to guide Team Silverstone to World Championship glory ramps up, while Williams are sixth in the field at £1.9bn ($2.5bn).

The Grove-based squad are then followed by Alpine, Sauber and Racing Bulls, the latter of whom are fighting for tens of millions in prize money in the battle for sixth place in the Constructors’ Championship.

F1’s least valuable organisation in 2025 remains Haas, although the American squad are still valued over the £1bn mark. According to team principal Ayao Komatsu, team cohesion and a positive atmosphere back at base are responsible for the success. “If we are just purely looking at hardware and cost, we cannot compete, so we’ve got to look at how we can be more attractive,” he told Autosport earlier this year.
