This weekend marks the halfway mark of the 2025 F1 season!

Formula 1 takes part throughout several months of the year, with 24 races on the calendar from March to December.

With the season being halfway over, there has been much speculation about half of the grid’s future as several contracts are up at the end of this year.

Exact details of driver contracts are typically unavailable, though many will sign “multi-year” contracts, but this could also only mean two years.

As this season continues, we are taking a look at where each driver’s future currently stands based on their contract with their team.

Four of the current drivers are signed beyond 2026, with one of them holding the longest contract ever for their team!

The 2025 Formula 1 season is about a third of the way through!

This weekend marks the seventh F1 grand prix of the year, taking place on Sunday (May 18) at the Autodromo Internazionale Enzo e Dino Ferrari in Imola, Italy.

As the race weekend is underway, you may be wondering just how much money the drivers make as this is considered the highest class of international racing for open-wheel single-seater formula racing cars.

These guys often earn the most thanks to their success on the track and their ability to amass sponsors and fans. Their performance, experience, and marketability, are important factors as well.

Driver salaries in F1 are typically negotiated between the driver and their team, with many contracts lasting multiple years.

On top of a base salary, drivers may also receive bonuses for podium finishes or championship wins, as well as incentives for attracting sponsors or improving the team’s performance.

Exact details of driver contracts are often kept confidential, but a report has revealed how much the top drivers are actually making this season.

The 2025 Formula 1 season is well underway!

F1 drivers have been hitting the track over the past month, with the first three of 24 races completed.

Being the best of the best, drivers often earn the most thanks to their success on the track and their ability to amass sponsors and fans. Their performance, experience, and marketability, are important factors as well.

We looked into how much this years driver’s are worth and ranked each F1 star based on their estimated net worth, and the two top with the biggest net worth both have over $100 million estimated worth.

To note, there are several rookies this season, as well as many returning vets and drivers who have participated in races in the past, but will be making their full season debut.

The 2025 F1 season has had a rough start for some teams.

This year’s Formula 1 race season kicked off in Melbourne, Australia, in mid-March and has only had two races so far.

From those first two races, several drivers have struggled in their cars, with some veterans trying to score points and some of the rookies doing very well.

There are only ten teams and 20 drivers on the grid this year, before an 11th team and two more drivers join in 2026.

Starting off the season, there were 14 returning drivers and six rookies making their full time F1 season debut. There are also several seat changes as only two teams kept both of their drivers.

Three of those rookie drivers next year have stepped up during the 2024 season to either fill in as a reserve driver or take over a drivers’ seat after they were let go.

So far this year, there has already been a driver swap with two teams, ahead of the Japanese Grand Prix, which kicks off a triple header of three race weekends in a row.

The second Formula 1 race of the season is taking place on Sunday (March 23) in Shanghai, China.

Ahead of the 2025 Formula 1 Heineken Chinese Grand Prix, the drivers, team principals and more took time before the drivers parade to pay tribute to the late Eddie Jordan, who passed away this past week.

Eddie was a racecar driver before starting his own Formula 1 team, Jordan Grand Prix in 1991, where he gave Michael Schumacher his debut season.

Current F1 drivers, including Ferrari’s Lewis Hamilton and reserve driver Zhou Guanyu, Mercedes’ George Russell, Alpine’s Jack Doohan and more all took a moment prior to the race to honor the late, iconic team owner.

“We are deeply saddened to hear about the sudden loss of Eddie Jordan,” F1 President and CEO Stefano Domenicali previously shared in a statement. “With his inexhaustible energy he always knew how to make people smile, remaining genuine and brilliant at all times. Eddie has been a protagonist of an era of F1 and he will be deeply missed. In this moment of sorrow, my thoughts and those of the entire Formula 1 family are with his family and loved ones.”

The 2025 Chinese Grand Prix is the second of 24 races this year, with McLaren’s Oscar Piastri starting in first, followed by George in second and Lando Norris in third.
