2021 F1 entry fees revealed
Formula 1’s reduced 2020 calendar means teams will pay a smaller entry fee in 2021.
An original plan for a 22-race schedule had to be shortened because of the coronavirus pandemic, and in the end the revamped schedule was cut down to 17 races.
The reduced opportunity to score points means that, with the entry fee based on the final points standings, everyone’s costs have come down.
