Max Verstappen heads into the 2023 F1 season $1million poorer after being hit with a record fee for a super licence in the sport's history.

Verstappen won his second F1 title last year at a canter, scoring 454 points - but this has come at a cost for the Red Bull driver.

Every year, the 20 drivers on the grid heading into a new campaign have to pay a set fee for their super licence.

For 2023, this constitutes a base figure of €10,400 [£9,217; $11,178], plus €2,100 [£ 1,861; $2,257] per point won the previous season.

It means Verstappen's bill for his super licence for the coming season is €963,800 [£854,060; $1,036,158].

For a full breakdown of what each driver has to pay, see below:

Charles Leclerc - €657,200 [£582,383; $706,240]
