Hey guys, I was doing some reading up about Superlicenses on wikipedia, and it was saying that drivers have to pay $1,000 euros for each championship point they accrue, along with a standard flat fee... He complained about having to pay $1Million dollars for his Superlicense in his championship winning year.

That was before the change in the points system. Did the conditions of the Supelicense change when the points system changed in 2010?

If so, can you imagine how much Vettel is being penalised for winning smashing everyone in this year's and 2011's championship?

They were changed this year IIRC

I like how the FIA introduced the ridiculous point amount, then charged $1k per point... Yeah let's make it even harder for talent to get into F1...

Unfortunately F1, like many sports out there; it's business first and sport second, which is a great shame, I truly believe over-commercialization is killing sport at a grass roots level!
