This salary reflects not only his successes on the track but, above all, the Dutchman\u2019s absolute centrality to the Red Bull project during a crucial period of regulatory transition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Following closely is <strong>Lewis Hamilton<\/strong>, who earns approximately <strong>$60 million<\/strong> at Ferrari. This is an investment that goes beyond simple sporting performance, focusing instead on global image, leadership, and technical expertise\u2014elements considered strategic in Maranello ahead of the new regulatory cycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Who_is_the_highest-paid_Formula_1_driver_in_2026\"><\/span>Who is the highest-paid Formula 1 driver in 2026?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The title of the highest-paid driver in 2026 therefore still belongs to Max Verstappen. His contract represents an almost unique case in the Circus: a team built around a single technical and sporting reference point. <a href=\"https:\/\/f1.newsauto.it\/en\/tag\/red-bull\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/f1.newsauto.it\/en\/tag\/red-bull\">Red Bull<\/a> has chosen continuity, securing its main asset at a time when new regulations could reshuffle the grid&#8217;s hierarchy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lewis Hamilton\u2019s arrival at Ferrari had an immediate impact on a commercial and media level. The $60 million salary awarded to the seven-time world champion is the price for a profile capable of attracting sponsors, global attention, and technical know-how. While this investment has not yet yielded the hoped-for results on track, Ferrari remains confident that 2026 could mark the true turning point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The third step of the salary podium is shared by <strong>Charles Leclerc<\/strong> and <strong>George Russell<\/strong>, both earning <strong>$34 million<\/strong> per season. Leclerc remains Ferrari\u2019s sporting cornerstone despite Hamilton\u2019s arrival, while Russell is now the face of the post-Hamilton Mercedes, tasked with leading a project aimed at returning permanently to the top of Formula 1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"High-Tier_Salaries_From_Norris_to_Alonso\"><\/span>High-Tier Salaries: From Norris to Alonso<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Just below the podium, we find <strong>Lando Norris<\/strong>, who, at <strong>$30 million<\/strong>, represents the heart of the McLaren project, and <strong>Fernando Alonso<\/strong>, who continues to be a key resource for Aston Martin with a <strong>$20 million<\/strong> salary. This bracket includes drivers considered strategic for development and technical continuity rather than just race finishers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The intermediate salary bracket includes names such as <strong>Carlos Sainz, Oscar Piastri, Pierre Gasly, Alexander Albon, and Lance Stroll<\/strong>, with earnings ranging between <strong>$12 and $13 million<\/strong>. These are reliable profiles, often decisive for team stability, but without the contractual weight of the true superstars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Rookies_and_Young_Talents_The_Lowest_Salaries_in_F1\"><\/span>Rookies and Young Talents: The Lowest Salaries in F1<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the bottom of the rankings are the rookies and young drivers, with significantly lower salaries. From the <strong>$2 million<\/strong> of <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/f1.newsauto.it\/en\/formula-1\/kimi-antonelli-here-is-his-new-mercedesamg-gt-63-pro-motorsport-11951\" type=\"link\"

the contracts of <strong>$1 million or less<\/strong> for <strong>Oliver Bearman, Liam Lawson, Franco Colapinto, and Arvid Lindblad<\/strong>, the economic gap between the present and the future of
