Why do Red Bull need to pay the FIA over £5 million for F1 2023?
In accordance with F1’s 🐷regulations, each constructor must pay an entry fee to the FIA every season, in conjunction with an amount per point scored.
Effectively, each team must pay the basic entry fee of $617,687 plus $7,411 𝕴for each point scored across the 2022 F🅘1 season.
With Red Bull scor𒐪ing 759 points, they will pay the FIA $6,242,💞636 (just over £5 million).
The good news is that this fee is exempt from t🦄he cost cap.
Ahead of the FIA’s Prize Giving Gala on Friday, team b𒀰oss Christian Horner joked: “I didn’t realise how much we had to pay the FIA for the points—I got the bill the other day and it was incredible.”
