Formula 1 is expanding in every area of the international market, and the stocks of various teams are rising, with Ferrari seeing a boom.
The Formula 1 stock market and global market have seen a sharp rise in recent years. Since 2016, when Liberty Media acquired the brand, the stock values of the teams and the product itself have experienced a meteoric rise, leading Formula 1 to constantly forge new agreements and partnerships.
The evolution of the cars, the growing spectacle, and the high demand for tickets to individual events confirm the success of the work done by Liberty Media and F1 CEO Stefano Domenicali. The former Lamborghini manager, in interviews over the past few weeks, has spoken about numerous requests for new Grands Prix, starting with Argentina, moving through South Africa, and reaching Saudi Arabia (which wants two Grands Prix starting in 2027).
The expansion of the brand has, of course, also involved the teams themselves. According to recent research, each Formula 1 team is now worth at least one billion dollars, a figure that seemed unreachable just a few years ago. This is partly thanks to the introduction of the budget cap, which has allowed the various teams to better capitalize on their earnings while seeking profitable collaborations, both from a sporting and economic perspective.
Leading this special ranking is Ferrari, with the Scuderia from Maranello valued at nearly 5 billion dollars (4.78 billion to be precise), showing a 53% growth compared to last season, according to a study by Sportico. Given its allure, fame, and history, it’s no surprise that Ferrari is in first place, and the numbers could skyrocket in 2025 with the presence of a certain Lewis Hamilton.
Behind Ferrari, there are three other top teams, starting with Mercedes (3.74 billion), followed by Red Bull (3.33 billion) and McLaren (2.52 billion). McLaren’s exponential growth stands out, as it has seen a 70% increase since last June, thanks to the team’s sporting success this season.
Aston Martin has performed even better than McLaren. In fifth place, with a value of 1.97 billion, the team has seen an 82% increase. These incredible numbers for the prestigious British brand come after hiring Adrian Newey, as the team aims to fight for victories and the World Championship starting in the 2026 season. Completing the rankings are Alpine, Williams, and Racing Bulls, while the last two positions are occupied by Sauber and Haas.
The most interesting aspects concern the last two teams: Sauber, which will become Audi starting in the 2026 season, could see its stock value rise significantly with the likely entry of the Qatari fund. Haas, on the other hand, can celebrate its official entry into the ranks of teams worth at least one billion, with a value of 1.02 billion dollars.
