He claimed the championship by finishing just two points ahead of his teammate on the final day.

This achievement makes him the 11th British driver in history to be crowned a world champion.

However, despite this prestigious title, he currently earns significantly less than several of his competitors.

His net worth ranks him in the middle compared to others in the sport.

SunSport has examined some of the wealthiest drivers in Formula 1, with one individual estimated to be worth over £300 million.

George Russell – £12.4m

He became the top driver at Mercedes following the departure of his predecessor at the beginning of the year.

This season, his salary was increased accordingly, with the Brit now reportedly earning £30 million per year.

The 27-year-old finished the season in fourth place in the driver standings, amassing 319 points.

He reportedly earns about £5 million annually with Haas.

Lando Norris – £23.2m

The newly crowned world champion.

Norris currently earns £15 million per season at McLaren, but with his new status as world No. 1, a pay raise may be on the horizon.

The Papaya team is eager to retain him for as long as possible in hopes of securing more championships.

Norris signed an extended multi-year contract with McLaren last year, ensuring his future with the team.

If any team wishes to attract him away, it will likely involve a significant financial offer.
