Max Verstappen’s success-filled year has left him with a heavy entry fee to pay for next season’s campaign.
Max Verstappen has expressed concern over the FIA’s Super Licence fees for Formula 1. The fees are based on a base fee of €10,400 plus an additional €2,100 for every point scored in the previous season. As a result of his dominant season with Red Bull, Verstappen scored 575 points, resulting in a staggering entry fee of €1,217,900 for the 2024 campaign. This is the highest sum paid since the rule was introduced. Verstappen clarified in an interview that the expense will be covered by Red Bull, not himself. He believes the rule should be revised to establish a more balanced ratio between points and fees.
