A year full of crashes and damage: this driver cost his team the most

A crash or accident can be quite expensive. Formula 1 teams have separate budgets for the damage that always occurs during a season. After the season it is nice to take stock: which driver was the most expensive for his team?

Surprise

It is not entirely surprising that a Haas driver cost the most, according to Sky Sports Germany. More surprising is that it is not Nikita Mazepin, but his team mate Mick Schumacher. Charles Leclerc and Max Verstappen also score high. In the case of Verstappen this is undoubtedly due to the crash at Silverstone, where the Red Bull was completely written off.
