The only downside of the successful 2023 champions’ record is the 8.6 million
euros that Red Bull will have to fork out to simply be part of the field in 2024
It is the price of success imposed by an FIA at odds with many teams, not
least because of this monumental bite into the teams’ coffers.
Between the base fee, the bonus of being champions in their respective
categories, and the staggering number of victories, doubles and points, the
amount will be more expensive than the previous year’s penalty (7 million
euros) for exceeding the spending limit.
It’s also more than the price to be paid by the second and third together,
Mercedesand Ferrari.
Verstappen will face a total
of 1.2 million euros to pay after his 19 victories, starting from the base,
which is 10,400 euros as initial cost and 2,100 euros for each point, and he
had 575, a record.
Behind him is Checo Perez
,
runner-up, with 608,900 euros.
Red Bull usually pays for Max, but nothing has been said about Checo, at least
officially.
Fernando Alonso, has the fourth highest fee, 443,000 euros and Carlos Sainz in
seventh at 430,000 euros.
The last one is Logan Sargeant, and his meager point, will be 12,500 euros.
This is a controversial issue since it is a source of money for the FIA.
“I don’t think it’s right that we have to pay so much,” Max said.

“It doesn’t happen in other sports either. And there are more and more races.”
The price of fines has also been increased, in this new era in which the FIA
is looking for new forms of financing, as it has an “unsustainable” financial
deficit, and increasingly, to the teams, for this and many other reasons, such
as permanent interference in how to run the championship as a promoter.
