Lance Stroll earns a $12m base salary from Aston Martin in 2026, unchanged from 2025 and worth $522k per Grand Prix. Salary surveys never agreed on his earlier pay, listing $10m for 2021 and 2022 but only $2m for 2023 and 2024.
Aston Martin’s own accounts point higher. The team booked $12.3m of racing-services costs with Golden Eagle Racing in 2024, up from $5.608m in 2023, although that sum also covers support services and isn’t a straight salary.
Names Melvin Hoppenheim Jr. as his manager, a link we treat as reported rather than confirmed.
Lance Stroll's Contract for 2025 and Beyond
Aston Martin announced on June 27, 2024 that Stroll would stay for 2025 and beyond, but it published neither an end year nor his salary terms. At $12m in each of those two seasons, the contract is worth about $24m in base salary, with any bonus on top of that.
That deal has since been extended. Aston Martin confirmed on September 29, 2026 that Stroll will stay for 2027 on a long-term contract, and Fernando Alonso stays alongside him. Neither the length nor the pay of the new deal has been published, so this season’s $12m is still the best guide to what he earns.
What Stroll's New Aston Martin Contract Means
Aston Martin confirmed on September 29, 2026 that Stroll will stay for 2027 alongside Fernando Alonso, so the line-up stays the same for a fifth straight season. Neither the length nor the value of the new deal has been published, so his 2027 pay is still based on his current $12m salary.
A $1.5m bonus, the amount he collected in 2025, would lift his potential income to $13.5m. It depends on points, and Aston Martin has scored just seven all season, every one of them by Fernando Alonso.

At $12m, Stroll’s base comes to about $231k a week, $33k a day and $1,370 an hour. Adding the $1.5m bonus scenario lifts the weekly figure to $260k and each race to $587k. They’re averages meant to give the salary some scale, and Aston Martin may pay for his services on a different schedule.

Williams
Williams paid him $847k as a rookie in 2017, when third place in Baku made him the youngest rookie to reach an F1 podium. His estimated $1.8m for 2018 came in a far weaker car that scored him six points.
Splits his 2025 earnings into a $12m salary and a $1.5m bonus for a $13.5m total.
The Reasons Behind Stroll's $12m Deal
Stroll’s seat can’t be separated from his father’s role at Aston Martin, but his record has real high points too.
The family team. Lawrence Stroll led the consortium that bought Force India’s assets in 2018, and Lance has raced for the team in every season since.
Days when it clicks. Pole in wet qualifying in Turkey in 2020 and the three podiums in his F1 career stats show he can deliver on the right day.
Paid through a company. Aston Martin pays Golden Eagle Racing for his racing services, a cost of $12.3m in 2024.
A settled pairing. He has partnered Fernando Alonso since 2023, so the team kept the same line-up through its switch to Honda power.
Long experience at 27. His 208 Grand Prix starts since 2017 include eight straight seasons with this team under its two names.
Stroll's Pay Next to Fernando Alonso
Stroll’s $12m base is $12m below Fernando Alonso’s $24m, and the gap widens to $13m with bonuses, at $13.5m against $26.5m. Neither driver has much to show for 2026, but Alonso’s 7 points still beat Stroll’s none.

Lance Stroll Pay and Ownership FAQs
Yes, Aston Martin pays Lance Stroll a reported $12m base salary in 2026. Being the son of the team’s owner doesn’t change that. The team’s 2024 accounts also show $12.3m of racing-services costs with Golden Eagle Racing, up from $5.608m in 2023. That total includes support services, so it isn’t his salary, but real money clearly changes hands.
Lance Stroll is under contract with Aston Martin for 2027 and beyond. The team confirmed on September 29, 2026 that he’d extended his long-term deal, and Fernando Alonso stays alongside him. No end year or salary has been published, so his current $12m base is still the best guide to his pay.
Lance Stroll’s current Aston Martin contract is worth about $24m in base salary, based on $12m in each of 2025 and 2026. The extension confirmed on September 29, 2026 keeps him at the team for 2027, but neither its length nor its value has been published, so his $12m salary remains the best guide.
Fernando Alonso earns $12m more than Lance Stroll, with a $24m Aston Martin base salary against Stroll’s $12m in 2026. Bonus scenarios widen the gap to $13m, at $26.5m against $13.5m.
Neither driver has had much to show for it on track, although Alonso’s 7 points still beat Stroll’s none.

Lance Stroll makes a $12m base salary a year at Aston Martin, the same in 2026 as in 2025. With a $1.5m bonus like last season’s, his potential income reaches $13.5m. That works out at about $1m a month before tax, or $522k for each of the 23 Grands Prix.
