Mercedes has topped the financial tables for 2025, reporting £633.378 million turnover, highest among eight teams reviewed by RacingNews365.

That figure exceeds Formula 1’s own £400 million revenue and equates to roughly $846 million, placing Mercedes on course to threaten $1 billion in the 2026 accounts due September 2027.

Growth was marginal versus 2024’s £632.117 million, tempered by reduced 2025 prize money linked to Mercedes’ 2024 drop to fourth in the constructors’ standings.

The team rebounded on track in 2025, finishing runners‑up behind McLaren, which should lift its prize‑money share in the next reporting cycle under Formula 1’s distribution framework.

Profitability followed suit. Gross profit rose to £209.841 million from £182.744 million. Net profit after tax reached £133.143 million, up £15.468 million year‑on‑year.

Those gains reflect operational efficiency under the cost‑cap era and disciplined spend, while maintaining development throughput and trackside execution.

McLaren posted £588.483 million turnover but recorded a £17.360 million loss, underscoring differing investment cycles and cost profiles compared to Mercedes’ current balance of growth and profitability.

Across the UK‑based grid, Alpine, Aston Martin, Haas, Red Bull, and Williams showed mixed results, with profits and losses shaped by development cadence and infrastructure commitments.

Formula 1 reported record £400 million turnover in 2025, yet series profits eased, highlighting rising costs and investment even as commercial revenues continue to climb.

Prize‑money timing remains pivotal. Lower receipts tied to 2024 form constrained 2025 revenue, but the 2025 runners‑up finish should boost Mercedes’ 2026 accounts.

Mercedes attributes stability to clear processes and rapid response to setbacks, recovering from early‑season difficulties such as its Bahrain GP struggles in 2025.

Mastery of the regulatory landscape has also been central, from interpreting the cost cap to deployment strategies, as discussed in the team’s own guidance on F1 rules.

Sustained competitiveness will still hinge on development rate and correlation, with attention on Mercedes’ mid‑season package and subsequent upgrade fixes to unlock consistent performance.

For now, the 2025 numbers confirm Mercedes as the financial benchmark, pairing competitive recovery with robust margins ahead of an important 2026 campaign.
