FORMULA ONE has garnered a reputation as one of the most lucrative sports in the world – and with deals like these, it is no surprise why.

The current highest paid driver might not be who you think – as Lewis Hamilton's lucrative new deal at Ferrari does not see him top the rankings.

The talents of fellow Brits Lando Norris and George Russell also sees them make a pretty penny, but still not the most out of all 20 of the current F1 grid.

SunSport can reveal who the highest paid driver on the grid is in 2025.

Who is the highest paid driver on the F1 grid in 2025?

The highest paid driver in 2025 is four-time world champion Max Verstappen.

The Dutch driver has won the Drivers' Championship four years in an row, and edges out Lewis Hamilton as F1's biggest earner.

Hamilton is second behind Verstappen after signing a huge new two-year contract with Ferrari.

The seven-time champ is some way ahead of new team-mate Charles Leclerc in third.

The lowest earners are the new kids on the block, Isack Hadjar and Jack Doohan, whereas F2 champion Gabriel Bortoleto will earn the same as Yuki Tsunoda.
