George Russell’s 2025 Salary at Mercedes
George Russell is entering his fourth season with Mercedes, and his salary reflects that established role. For 2025, Russell earns $15 million, placing him 6th on the list of highest-paid drivers on the grid.
When you look at where he came from, the jump is massive. Back at Williams, Russell was earning just $265,000 per year. Once he moved to Mercedes in 2022, things changed. His salary spiked to $5 million, then quickly climbed to $10 million later that year. By 2023, Forbes reported he was making $9 million, and in 2024, that figure jumped to $15 million, with an additional $8 million in bonuses.
There’s no denying that Mercedes gave Russell more than just a race seat—they gave him a long-term financial foundation. That contract runs through the end of 2025, and he’s earning every dollar of it.
