Historical scoring systems and season lengths differ. Current-season rows are provisional, and each source may have its own update cutoff.
The deal in context
Public contract terms and salary estimates, with separate source dates.
Estimated annual salary
$70mUSD per yearMedia estimate published on 4 February 2026, in USD per year for the 2026 season. Excludes team bonuses, performance bonuses and personal sponsorships. Not an official salary disclosure; later contract changes are not reflected in this dated estimate.
Through 2030
- Confirmed at least through
- 2030
- Announcement / source date
- 20 Aug 2026
Red Bull announced a new agreement through the end of 2030, extending the previous 2028 deal. No undisclosed exit conditions or performance clauses are assumed.
Keep estimates in context. Salary figures are media estimates, not verified payroll or transfer valuations. A later contract announcement does not confirm an updated salary. A confirmed season is a minimum commitment, not necessarily the contract’s final year. Undisclosed terms remain undisclosed.

How to read this dossier
Profile statistics, historical results and simulation reports serve different purposes and can use different cutoffs. The research forecasts retain their own assumptions and dates. No missing statistic, private salary or undisclosed contract term has been filled with an invented value.
Career points span different points systems. Grand Prix wins and podiums exclude Sprint results. Race-log weekend points include Grand Prix and Sprint points. Entries and recorded race results can have different scopes; missing events are not zero-point results.
Current-season rows are provisional. Salary figures are dated media estimates, and a confirmed contract season is a minimum commitment rather than a guaranteed end date.
Snapshot & reconciliation notes3
Snapshot checked on 18 October 2026. Latest listed Grand Prix: Singapore, 2026-10-11. The 2026 season is in progress.
Race-result points are weekend totals, including Sprint points where awarded. Position is the Grand Prix classification.
Team history follows recorded race-team stints, including substitutions and team-name changes; it is not a contract timeline.
