Forbes has revealed its list of the highest-paid Formula 1 drivers for 2025, and unsurprisingly, it doesn't quite mirror the drivers' standings following the end of this year's season.
At the top of the list sits four-time champion Max Verstappen with an estimated $76million in earnings. As you'd expect for a driver with his level of talent and a proven track record, the salary boasts a huge base of around $65million, with performance-based bonuses raising it to the full value. After missing his fifth championship win by just two points, he now looks to the change in regulations in 2026 as another opportunity.
