FIA thanks Red Bull for many wins with this bill!

Success has its price. At Red Bull Racing, they know all about it by now, as the team received a huge bill from the FIA. Christian Horner was shocked by the amount, he revealed last Friday. Now it is also known how much Red Bull has to pay.

Exactly $6,242,636 million is what Red Bull must pay to the FIA in entry fees for next season. For years, the total has been calculated by a sophisticated key, with the World Champion among the constructors having to pay the most of all teams for each point scored. In Red Bull's case, that is $7,411. The team picked up 759 points, so that times $7,411. In addition, there is a basic fee of $617,687, which all 10 teams have to pay, wrote Bild.

With the amount, Red Bull breaks Mercedes' record from 2019. Back then, Toto Wolff had to transfer almost $5.5 million on behalf of his team. That happened after scoring 739 points and before the inflation-related price increase.

Of course, Red Bull was also fined $7 million this season for exceeding the budget ceiling. In short, these were expensive months for the Austrian team of Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez.
