F1 valuations have teams winning on and off the track
Sportico announced F1 valuations for 2026. Mark Schofield breaks down what it means for the growth of the sports.
Formula 1 has emerged as one of the most valuable sports leagues in the world, with team valuations exceeding $4.5 billion on average. According to Sportico's annual analysis, the average F1 team is now valued at $4.55 billion, a 33% increase from the previous year and 197% since 2023. This growth outpaces that of other major leagues, including the NHL (85% increase) and the NFL (81% increase).
Ferrari leads the pack with a valuation of $8.2 billion, followed by Mercedes at $7.75 billion and McLaren at $6.3 billion. The newest team, Cadillac, has a value of $2.7 billion but faces significant losses as it seeks its first point on the grid. The cost cap implemented in 2021 has helped maintain team valuations by limiting spending on performance-enhancing areas.
