When does each F1 driver’s contract end?

Seeing as the season is in full swing, driver contracts are always a big topic, but I think this year’s silly season is going to be one to remember as it already kicked off before the season even started!

However, we know that sometimes contracts mean nothing, and there is always a way to get out of them early… 12 drivers contracts are up at the end of the season.

Red Bull-

Max Verstappen – 2028
Sergio Perez – 2024

Mercedes-

Lewis Hamilton – 2024
George Russell – 2025

Ferrari-

Charles Leclerc – “Several more seasons”
Carlos Sainz – 2024

McLaren-

Lando Norris – 2026
Oscar Piastri – 2026

Aston Martin-

Fernando Alonso – 2024
Lance Stroll – Rolling

Alpine-

Esteban Ocon – 2024
Pierre Gasly – 2024

Williams-

Alex Albon – 2025
Logan Sargeant – 2024

RB-

Daniel Ricciardo – 2024
Yuki Tsunoda – 2024

Sauber-

Valtteri Bottas – 2024
Guanyu Zhou – 2024

Haas-

Kevin Magnussen – 2024
Nico Hulkenberg – 2024

That’s all 20 drivers contract lengths, obviously we know Lewis is moving to Ferrari next season, so there is a vacant seat at Mercedes which definitely doesn’t come around too often…
There are also a few junior drivers and drivers sitting on the sideline waiting for an opportunity.

Those being, Liam Lawson, Felipe Drugovich, Ollie Bearman, Frederik Vesti and Theo Pourchaire. All five drivers are linked to F1 teams and I could possibly see maybe one or two of them coming in for the 2025 season.
Not only this but looking at Formula 2 aswell, depending on how the drivers go in this season they could maybe be a possibility aswell.

Now all we have to do is wait until the next team announces whether they are sticking with their drivers or going to have a little bit of a switch around…
