Explained: The FIA's significant financial gain from F1's Sprint increase

With F1 Sprint rounds increasing from three to six this year, the pay-per-point nature of the sport’s entry fees means that the FIA stands to gain from it come next season.

“Sprint sessions provide an exciting dynamic to the race weekend format and have proven to be popular over the past two seasons – I am sure that this positive trend will continue and am pleased that the World Motor Sport Council has today given its approval for them to go ahead.” In short, the more points you score, the more expensive your entry bill for next year – with Red Bull set for a record invoice to get back on the grid next year, such is the price of their success.

But the 108 extra points last year will also have raked in €226,800 , and when added to the team fees, the three Sprints last season will have meant that the FIA earned approximately $951,350 from additional fees for the 2023 season.FIA Super Licence explained: How can drivers reach the magic 40-point mark to race in F1?
