The cost consists of a flat fee that is the same for every driver, which is €11,842. That will be paid by the returning Valtteri Bottas and Sergio Perez, as well as rookie Arvid Lindblad. 

However, on top of the flat fee, each driver must pay an additional €2,392 per point scored in 2025. Having not scored a point last year, Franco Colapinto will also only pay the flat fee.

As for the likes of Norris, Verstappen and Oscar Piastri, they all have huge sums to pay having all scored over 400 points – Piastri's fee is just short of the €1 million mark.
