The business of motorsport

60 confirmed records in 3 datasets · as of

What motorsport earns, spends and signs, taken from the documents the parties and the regulator publish. Every figure here is one record: the number or the term as it was printed, with its source and its date.

A second, separate check reads each record against its source before it appears. Press estimates are not records. How a figure becomes a record sets out the rules.

Race contracts

The contract clock

as of · the full clock, with driver terms

Which Grand Prix contracts end when, under the year each announcement prints. Only the current term of each race is listed. Nothing here is estimated: where a party stated no end year, the race is at the foot with the reason.

  1. 2026 1 contract ends
  2. 2028 3 contracts end
  3. 2029 1 contract ends
  4. 2030 3 contracts end
  5. 2031 2 contracts end
  6. 2032 2 contracts end
  7. 2034 2 contracts end
  8. 2035 4 contracts end
  9. 2036 1 contract ends
  10. 2037 2 contracts end
  11. 2041 2 contracts end

Team announcements

The 2027 grid

as of · every seat and its source

11 of 22 race seats are confirmed for 2027 by a team's own announcement in this record. 4 teams' line-ups are not yet in this record. 1 driver is under contract with no term stated: listed here, and not counted. 1 reserve is listed and not counted. Where a team gave no end year, the line gives the reason.

Ownership

Who owns the teams

as of · owners and disclosed stake sales

Who owns each team now, each line in its document's own words with that document's date and the day the line stood. A stake sale is an event on its date and is listed on the team's dossier, not here.

Team by team

Team dossiers and the grid explorer

One page per team, built from the records that name it. The grid explorer sets the teams beside each other, view by view, and any two teams side by side.

Method and reuse

How it is made, and how to cite it

A figure is a record only when a party to it, or a regulator, published it: a company filing, a release from a series, a team or a promoter, a regulation. The method gives the rules in full and says how to report a figure you believe is wrong.
