Max Verstappen complains as Red Bull slapped with huge F1 bill by FIA
Max Verstappen and Red Bull demolished single-season F1 records as they walked to brilliance this year, however that achievement comes at impressive monetary expense for the group
Max Verstappen thinks the Recipe 1 section expense framework ought to be explored as his Red Bull group faces an exceptional bill.
Red Bull scored a phenomenal 860 focuses as they frolicked to the constructors’ title unchallenged. And Verstappen broke his own previous record by scoring 575 of those himself.
Be that as it may, on account of the ongoing FIA passage expense framework, their prosperity comes at tremendous expense. The group should address record costs to the overseeing body to get the opportunity to safeguard their crowns.
For the 2024 season, a base fee of £8,919 must be paid by each driver. However, for every point they score this year, the price of their license goes up by £1,800. So Logan Sargeant has the least expense to pay, since he scored only the one point.
Verstappen must pay just one percent of the American’s entry fee in order to compete next year. The Dutchman owes £1,043,919 to the FIA for his proceeded with presence on the lattice – another record for a F1 driver.
Luckily for him, Red Bull will get the bill so he doesn’t need to utilize any of his £40m-per-year compensation to pay for his permit. Yet, he actually thinks the framework should be taken a gander at with regards to what he and his group accomplished for the current year.
Verstappen stated to Dutch television station Viaplay, “The team pays that, fortunately.” I really do figure there ought to be some ordinary proportion in that. But, you know, things like that are written down, and I don’t think anyone anticipated that so many points would be awarded.”
Even though Verstappen paid a hefty entry fee, it is only a small portion of what the team must pay to secure their position as a constructor. For the 2024 season, the one-time fee for all teams is £542,774, and it goes up by £6,512 for every point scored.
Because they earned 860 points this year, their entry fee for 2024 is a whopping £6.14 million. Although they can afford it, that is also a record. Additionally, as team director Christian Horner pointed out, the team’s spending in other areas need not be affected.
All in all, it’s an extravagance issue to have in light of the fact that we’ve needed to score the focuses to create the receipt,” said the Red Bull chief. ” Fortunately, it’s beyond the spending plan cap. However, definitely, it’s a major check to compose the FIA.”
