[Fot] And we complain...

[David W. Riddle]

Granted.  But do the math.

$15,500 + $3,100 per point to hold a Superlicense is beyond excessive 
even given the unreal money in F1.  The cost for the license should 
have some basis in reality.

Hamilton last year earned 109 points last year.  That means his 
Superlicense this year cost him $353,400!  Kovalainen's license cost 
him $108,500.  So if McLaren is picking up the tab for the drivers 
Ron Dennis had to shell out over $500,000 for two race drivers and 
three test drivers (if not more).

Of course Max "I'm not a Nazi" Mosley is also complaining about 
wanting budget reductions put in place so that the sport does not 
cost so much for the teams.

Other drivers license costs.

Kubica: $136,400
Rosberg:        $77,500
Truilli:        $40,300
Sutil:          $18,600
Nakajima:       $15,500
