Racing in Formula 1 is one of the highest-paid jobs in the world, and thanks to the massive money involved in the sport, the drivers often draw big chunks of salary. F1 drivers often live in huge mansions, wear designer clothes, and drive expensive cars.
While the list is not very long given his age, Piastri’s rides are still enviable. The Australian F1 sensation drives the McLaren Artura and McLaren 720S. The combined worth of the two cars is around half a million dollars.

Driving for McLaren comes with a unique perk: you get to drive their supercar. When Piastri joined the British team in 2023 after a long tussle with Alpine, they handed him a McLaren Artura, the company’s first hybrid car since the legendary P1.
The Artura is a two-door coupe that comes with a 2933-cc twin-turbocharged V6 engine. It has an Axial Flux E-motor and an 8-speed SSG-Seamless dual-clutch Shift gearbox. It is the successor of the successful McLaren 570s.
McLaren says that the Artura can accelerate 0 to 60 miles an hour (100 kph) in just 2.6 seconds. It has a top speed of 250 miles an hour (330 kph). The name of the car was announced in late 2020 and it comes with a base price of $239,000 (£185,000 in the UK), according to The Sun.
#2 McLaren 720S

The McLaren 720S is one of the most recognizable cars from the British automobile manufacturer. The company launched the car in 2017 at the Geneva Motor Show, replacing the renowned 650s.
Describing the car, McLaren stated,
“A light and strong supercar shaped by the forces of nature. Honed by the elements. Poised for attack. And ferociously fast. Yet beautifully made, tactile and effortlessly usable, every day.”
It is a two-door coupe with a 4.9-litre M840T twin-turbocharged V8 engine. It has a power output of 720 PS and a seven-speed Graziano dual-clutch. The 720S can accelerate from 0 to 60 miles an hour in 2.8 seconds and have a top speed of 212 miles an hour (341 kph).
The car comes with a price tag of $292,000 (£227,000 in the UK), as per The Sun. However, the car was discontinued and was succeeded by the McLaren 750s lately.
