4. Honda Motor (Estimated Value: $51.1 billion)
Like most automotive manufacturers in Formula 1, Honda Motor also plays two roles: racing team and engine supplier. McLaren Honda team may be struggling to stay in the middle of the pack even though they had two former world champions on board. But in terms of company value, Honda is the best among all F1 manufacturers.
If you have been a motorsport fan for a long time, this fact should not surprise you. Honda has been one of the top contenders in other motorsports, such as MotoGP. Plus, it is a leading brand not just in automobile industry, but also telematics and aviation.
Each year, the company generates more than $100 billion of sales revenue. And its current market cap is estimated around $51.1 billion by Forbes. That puts Honda on the top 200 list in terms of sales, profit, assets, and market value.
This Japanese company was founded in 1948. Today, there are nearly thirty thousand employees working at its factories and offices worldwide.
