The prices of the watches that F1 drivers wore during the season finale in Abu Dhabi in 2025 were previously revealed, with seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton donning the most expensive on the grid.

Hamilton repped a Richard Mille model worth $2.3million (£1.7million), according to Wristcheck, as the first season of his lucrative Ferrari contract came to an end.

The recent Forbes rich list revealed that Hamilton had earned over $70million for his first season at Ferrari, following his move to the Maranello-based outfit back in January.

Despite that hefty price tag, Hamilton did not produce great results, not picking up a single grand prix podium across the season, and finishing down in sixth in the drivers' championship.

But he still had style in abundance in Abu Dhabi, sporting a watch that was more than four times as pricey as world champion Lando Norris' watch as he celebrated his maiden title win. Norris wore a Richard Mille worth $470,000 (£350,000).

Four-time world champion Max Verstappen, however, opted for a Tag Heuer, one of Red Bull's main sponsors, a watch that cost him just $6,600 (£5000).

Hamilton is said to be worth around $550m through his Formula 1 earnings as well as numerous endorsements with the likes of Tommy Hilfiger, IWC Schaffhausen, Puma, Lululemon, Dior, and Perplexity.

In addition to the aforementioned Richard Mille model, Hamilton has sported various other expensive watches previously such as IWC Schaffhausen's “Lewis Hamilton” Big Pilot's Watch Perpetual Calendar Edition, made specially for him. Though he does not have watches like Tissot T-classic, he holds an extensive range of other watches as a collector. He has also owned several exclusive IWC watches created in collaboration with him, including the Big Pilot’s Watch Perpetual Calendar and Portugieser Tourbillon Rétrograde Chronograph. With several of these watches individually worth hundreds of thousands of pounds, Hamilton’s publicly documented collection is potentially worth several million pounds, although his complete collection and personal ownership details are not publicly confirmed.
