Max Verstappen and Lando Norris\u00a0will have to pay well over a million euros for their FIA super licences for the upcoming Formula 1 season.<\/p>\n

As usual, every F1 driver pays a fee for their super licence based on the number of World Championship points they scored in the previous season. For 2026, the base price of a super license is \u20ac11,842, plus \u20ac2,392 per point scored in 2025. <\/p>\n

The highest bill this year belongs to Norris. The McLaren driver claimed his first world title with 423 points, which means his super license costs $1,023,658\u2014about \u20ac5,000 more than Verstappen. <\/p>\n

The small difference is because only two points separated the two drivers in the standings. Verstappen’s total bill is \u20ac1,018,874.<\/p>\n

Behind him are George Russell with \u20ac774,890, Charles Leclerc with \u20ac590,706, and Lewis Hamilton with \u20ac384,994. Kimi Antonelli also has to pay a substantial amount after his rookie season, \u20ac370,642 euros. <\/p>\n
