Max Verstappen to be hit with shocking fee following 2023 Formula 1 success - how much will the drivers pay?

Verstappen will be reportedly charged over €1.2 million to secure the superlicense he needs to compete again next year. The three-time world champion won 19 of the 22 races in 2023 which, with licenses increasing in cost for every point a driver scores, will result in a massive charge from the FIA.

Thankfully for Verstappen though, the hefty fee for next year won’t be paid by himself, as he revealed: “The team pays that, fortunately.” He also told Dutch broadcaster Viaplay: “I do think there should be some normal ratio in that. But you know, things like that get written down, and I don’t think anybody expected that there would end up being that many points scored.”
