Formula One Superlicense cost increased 

Max Mosley, FIA’s President, confirmed that in order to cover the costs of increased safety in F1, the cost of a Superlicense has to be increased for the upcoming season. While in 2007 a Superlicense cost was around 1.700€ plus 450€ more for each point scored in the previous year’s championship, starting this year the basic fee will be of 10.000€ plus 2.000€ per point scored.

Mosley said: “We spend a fortune on safety and most of it is for the benefit of the drivers. A lot of the people who have otherwise been meeting the bill said Hang on a minute, these drivers are all earning megabucks and we are spending a fortune to try and make sure they are safe. So hence the increase.”
