All Formula 1 drivers, including Lewis Hamilton, Max Verstappen, and newcomers, must pay a yearly fee for their Super Licence to compete in the 2025 season. The fee structure includes a standard amount and an additional charge based on points earned in the previous season. This rule ensures drivers meet the required experience and competitive standard for participation in the top tier of motorsport.
Lewis Hamilton, Max Verstappen and all 18 other F1 drivers must adhere to a strict FIA rule before they can race in the 2025 season.The seven-time world champion, who signed for the Scuderia on a multi-year contract from the beginning of 2025, has spent this week acquainting himself with his new team and new surroundings in Maranello.
But the FIA also implements a system where drivers must pay an extra fee for each point they earned during the 2024 season.The Brit will not technically have to pay the fee as it is traditionally covered by the teams themselves - something Verstappen confirmed ahead of the 2024 season, when he had to pay a staggering additional fee of €1,207,500 after collecting a record-breaking 575 points in 2023.
