Shocking Fee for Max Verstappen After 2023 F1 Triumph
The current F1 world champion, Max Verstappen, has revealed that his racing expenses will total approximately 1.2 million dollars.
Every driver in the F1 grid, as we all know, must spend a certain amount to obtain the super license required to compete in the F1 the following year. An individual who holds an FIA Super Licence qualifies to compete in the Formula One World Championship. Each driver’s point total from the previous season determines how much they must pay. The most points ever earned by a driver in a season was 575, which Verstappen earned at the end of the 2023 campaign. But Verstappen’s supremacy has cost the driver an astonishing 1.2 million dollars.
Fortunately for Verstappen, though, Red Bull has declared that they will cover the entire cost, so Verstappen won’t have to pay a dime out of pocket. Max Verstapoen has already attacked the super license, calling it ridiculous and completely needless.
You can understand that this amount charged to Max Verstappen is really absurd if you put the’super ‘license’ charge of everyone in the grid on a graph. So if the extremities are Max Verstappen’s 1.2 million dollars, then on the other end of the spectrum, there is Logan Sargeant, who has only managed one point in the 2023 Formula One season. If Williams decides to keep the American driver on their grid in 2024, they will currently only have to pay 13,375 euros, which is like 14,601 yen.
“I do think there should be some normal ratio in that,” he stated to Dutch network Viaplay. However, such incidents are documented, and I doubt anyone anticipated that such a high number of points would be awarded.
It is unknown whether Verstappen’s teammate Sergio Perez or other drivers will be required to pay their own expenses. Red Bull is the only team that has confirmed they will cover Verstappen’s superlicense charge.
