There’s no doubt that Ferrari is one of the most followed F1 teams around the world. Being the oldest and the most successful team on the grid, it enjoys having a lot of loyal supporters. The Italian GP in Monza is one of the best races to witness due to the Tifosi and is every Ferrari driver’s dream to win a race there.

The Maranello-based team’s sponsorship revenue grew to 29.5% from 2021 to 2022 and it totaled a whopping $121.6m in the third quarter. One of the main reasons for the spurt in their revenue growth is their rise in the WCC. Their jump from finishing 6th in 2020 to 3rd in 2021 has hugely benefitted the team. Not to forget that they beat 8-time constructors champions, Mercedes, in 2022.
Furthermore, Ferrari’s sponsorship revenue also expanded 26 percent to $345.2m in 2022. Consequently, its net revenue increased by 19% from this time last year to a gigantic $1.24 billion.
F1’s entry into the US market has been a success ever since Netflix’s Drive to Survive helped widespread the F1 fever in the States. It has helped F1 teams from Mercedes and Ferrari to Haas and Williams. Moreover, Williams will also have an American driver in their lineup alongside Alex Albon next year.
