The three series

Formula 1 pays in pounds and MotoGP in dollars, so the two totals below are not on the same scale. Converted to one currency, the Formula 1 grid costs 4.9 times what the MotoGP grid does.

Formula 1 £276,500,000 11 constructors, 22 race seats · highest paid Max Verstappen, £55,300,000 MotoGP $75,665,000 11 teams, 21 riders · highest paid Marc Marquez, $18,000,000 NASCAR $14,000,000 36 drivers ranked · highest paid Denny Hamlin

Highest career earnings

Total earned across every season we hold, converted at $1.35 and €1.17 where the source figure was not in pounds

Lewis Hamilton £538m Fernando Alonso £412m Max Verstappen £278m Sebastian Vettel £251m Kimi Räikkönen £236m Charles Leclerc £135m Lando Norris £92m Valtteri Bottas £78m George Russell £65m Carlos Sainz Jr £62m Marc Marquez £52m Alexander Albon £48m Pierre Gasly £38m Esteban Ocon £36m Lance Stroll £30m Oscar Piastri £21m

Formula 1 and MotoGP are ranked together here, and the gap between them is the point: one rider makes the top sixteen. Marc Marquez has earned £52m in MotoGP, one place behind Carlos Sainz Jr on £62m. We hold no career total for any NASCAR driver, so the NASCAR page ranks what the grid is paid this season instead.
