IT’S the most expensive sport in the world – so it’s no surprise top Formula 1 drivers boast an eye-watering bank balance. Perhaps unsurprisingly, Lewis is currently F1’s highest-paid driver – his contract with Mercedes nets him £41.6million each year, and he’s estimated to be worth £270.9m. This season the Spanish star has signed a new deal with Aston Martin believed to be worth around £17.8million. Max also benefits from lucrative deals from the likes of G-Star RAW, Red Bull, and EA Sports. His estimated £62.4million net worth, which includes an £8.3million salary from Red Bull, makes him one of the richest athletes in the world. This season he’s been replaced at McLaren by Oscar Piastri. The 30-year-old will be keen to prove why he’s been able to amass a reported net worth of £20.8million. His £5million salary at Haas is topped up by endorsement deals believed to be worth over £800,000.
