Formula-1 2025 driver salaries

Max Verstappen is the 4-time consecutive Drivers champion in F1 (2021-2024). He wants to repeat Michael Schumacher’s record of 5 straight titles, but that might be extremely difficult. Super Max is ready to take the challenge head-on, but McLaren’s Lando Norris and Ferrari’s pairing of Charles Leclerc and Sir Lewis Hamilton all seem determined to snatch the Dutchman’s crown. Let’s hope the 76th Formula One World Championship can give us 24 full races of excitement!
