Have you ever wondered where do F1 drivers live? By the way they don't all live in Monaco, so let me tell you where all the 2023 F1 driver's currently live.
It's common knowledge that Monaco is the most popular place of residence for the f1 driver's, but why do F1 driver's live in Monaco and do all the F1 driver's live in Monaco? Well I can tell you a number of reasons why F1 driver's live in Monaco, it is a beautiful city, quite a central place to travel from for F1 and there is absolutely no tax! But for some F1 driver's that don't live in Monaco where do they choose to live? Watch the full video to find out

  • I live in the small village in Switzerland where Vettel used to live, prior to moving closer to Germany. (He used to play with the local football team) It was also the home to Sergio Marcchione. Kimi is also not far away. We've seen him with his boy in the local toy shop.

    • I live in CH too, the tax is good, but not quite as good as his chart shows! Add in various other small taxes, and the obligatory health costs, and it adds up, but still better than the majority of neighboring countries.

This must be one of the higher Cantons, as is just a bit below what I pay for both Federal and Cantonal. Also, the property prices (Where I live anyway) is not far off Monaco, it seems!. Very informative, nonetheless! I wonder if any of the drivers ever admit that it is for tax purposes?

    • ​@nickgalla-barth6336 I think they all admit they live in Monaco because of the lack of taxes. There was some bitching going on, I don't know how long ago, it possibly started when Lewis moved there, because some athletes from the UK moved to Monaco to avoid paying the high taxes in England. People thought they should stay in the UK and pay the taxes. As if they wouldn't do the same if they were making that kind of money. I know I would 😂.

  • During the pandemic Lando, Charles, George and Alex played video games on Twitch pretty regularly. The interactions on the F1 games were hilarious. If you follow them even on other social media platforms they would record clips of it. I've heard Alex being interviewed recently to say that now that George has joined them and moved to Monaco, the 'Twitch quartet' as he called them will sometimes get together and hang out.

First was for the 2005 grand prix ..its also worth mentioning you can do the whole Monaco thing on a budget , The Historic racing is on a few weeks before every other year...its a great chance to se and hear F1 cars racing round the track ..The seats opposite the yachts that you see are the K1 seats ....Its a great way to enjoy F1 in monaco without the huge costs ...Stay in Nice a very easy and fantastic train ride in each day ....As Kym says its a nightmare when F1 is on ..forget taxis ..forget phone signal ..last train back to Nice is 11.30 roughly do not miss it !!

Honestly there are times when your wheels lose all traction on the hills and you're just a passenger hoping you don't skid into the road 😅 - fortunately some kind strangers then told us about the various elevators to help with some of the particularly inaccessible parts.

I actually stayed in the border town of Ventimiglia Italy, on the mountainside of the town and it was wondrous, and incredibly cheap for a very nice house with breathtaking views about 40 minutes drive to Monaco; where everything was orders of magnitude cheaper than France and Monaco. Not that i couldn't afford to stay closer (we stayed in a beautiful place in Nice too.), it just worked out that way as we were on a three week trip that started in Rome and ended in Barcelona, and i am glad it did. WHAT a trip. Italy is still my favorite EU nation. But Monaco and Spain were also great. France..was ok too lol.

Correct, it doesn't work. That's why it would be senseless to reverse so-called "Non-Dom" taxes in the UK; the rich would simply leave and you get no income tax, they don't employ gardeners, drivers, eat at fancy restaurants, expensively educate their children and so on.@@mamavswild

Haas: HUL: Monaco, MAG: Denmark Alfa Romeo-Sauber: BOT: Monaco, ZHO: England AlphaTauri: TSU: Italy, RIC: Monaco (although, as I understand, he spend quite a large portion of this year in the US before his eventual racing return)

  • I thought it was 0% tax in Monaco for foreign earned income but income earned in Monaco was taxable. So if you've got an income producing company in, let's say Lancelin, and you have resident status in Monaco you don't need to declare the income or dividends from your Lancelin based company. A rich person with overseas income would be unlikely to draw a wage at all, maybe a nominal amount to satisfy some regs somewhere, preferring to take money out in the form of dividends, directors loans, return of capital, etc, whose tax treatment is very different to wages. If your company is serving coffees at the Monaco harbour then you pay company and income tax. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, I got this info from a local last time I was in Monaco. I'd also be surprised that drivers received "wages" as such from the teams. If they did the money would be taxed at source. More likely it goes through the driver's management company, the Team "expensing" the payment as a contract payment, or, if they have no manager, into the driver's operating company from which they would draw a "wage". The bulk of the driver's contract payment would probably sit in the company accounts and pay company tax, or more likely used to purchase houses, classic cars, farms in the company name as assets (the drivers paying a fee to the company for personal use of the asset). Anyone who can clarify, confirm or debunk please chime in.

I believe Perez did just that recently. He has his family condo in Puerto Vallarta and possibly one now in Monaco.

  • Missed an important point about taxation in Monaco. Businesses get taxed 25% if at least a quarter of earnings come from outside of the country. And yes, sole owner businesses count. So for example, Lewis's salary as a driver wouldn't be taxed. BUT, any personal sponsorships he has with companies outside of Monaco or his ownership in sporting teams outside Monaco would be taxed. Same with Valtteri with his gin and coffee businesses. Lando with Quadrant and clothing. Daniel with Blue Coast, wine, clothing and karting businesses. You get the idea. These guys are paying taxes.

  • Am i right in thinking that the salaries the drivers get is taxed by the country they live in, but they also earn money for every race they're in depending on position they qualify/finish and this money is taxed by the country they're in? So winning in Monaco costs zero tax, but winning at Silverstone in England or Monza in Italy is taxed according to their tax bands?

  • Max's manager Vermeulen said, “It is factually incorrect what is written . He further explained that Max Verstappen pays taxes for the income he generates in the Netherlands, alongside other countries where he earns money. “We pay taxes on the sports performances we deliver in the Netherlands, such as the income he earned during the Dutch Grand Prix in Zandvoort,” he said. " We also pay taxes in other countries where he as a sportsman generates income. Furthermore, we have no activities in the Netherlands. Why should we have to pay tax on foreign income there? It would be strange if you paid twice, these are the international rules. One can find something moral about everything, in the end it’s just the legal and fiscal legislation and we adhere to that in all shapes and sizes,” he added.

I remember reading he said he had enough money and that's why he paid a lump sum up front to move back to Spain..I'm guessing he had enough of paying tax then to go back to Switzerland.

  • Switzerland has not one income tax rate, it has a different income tax based on the kanton you recide in. You have a peak income tax at Zug at 22% where as in Geneva its at 45%. So Ocon saves something like 14% by being in Geneva compared to peak income tax in france. If they are moving for tax reasons, why don't they move to dubai, where is also 0% income for people like ocon if its just about taxation?

  • What you said about George not getting any peace in London (which tbh, I find odd. I've heard a number of celebrities - far more broadly famous than any sportsman, like Harrison Ford - say that Londoners couldn't care less who you are and don't stare, let alone interrupt you. Maybe it's changed since social media came along?), could be the main reason why they go to Monaco. There are plenty of tax havens throughout the world, including in the British Isles (Isle of Man and the Channel Islands). But I think that when you have a country where the original locals see so many famous people on a daily basis, and the rest of the population is eye-wateringly rich and probably famous, nobody is going to disturb you when you go out for a beer with your mates. They also mostly all choose Monaco because their friends are there. I think the tax haven thing isn't as important to them as being able to live without being pestered is.

My brother, who worked in France, proudly parked his ancient BMW 3-series in their block's underground car park in Monaco, where it was surrounded by Ferraris and other expensive but impractical cars. By the way, England does not have its own income tax system. It is the UK tax system here in the UK.
