FIA Super Licence
The FIA Super Licence is a driver's qualification allowing the holder to compete in the Formula One World Championship. It is issued and managed by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA).
The FIA Racing Super Licence was introduced during the 1990s to prevent less-qualified drivers from participating in Formula 1, before being revamped in 2015, following the debut of Max Verstappen. To qualify, an applicant must meet the requirements of the FIA's International Sporting Code, Appendix L, Article 13. As of October 2025[update], the article states:
Additionally, if a driver has previously held a super licence, they must meet one of the following requirements instead:
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Requirement 5, was amended to allow the three best-scoring seasons from a driver's previous four seasons to count, provided the three-season window includes 2021. If a driver accumulated at least 30 points and competed in any of the Championships reported in Supplement 1 and was unable to accumulate the 40 points due to "circumstances outside their control or reasons of force majeure", the licence could be granted at the discretion of the FIA. In June 2024, the FIA further modified the rules so that drivers were no longer required to hold a road-legal driving licence in order to apply for a super licence.
As of October 2025[update], the Supplement 1 Super Licence points, which also qualify for the 80% rule, are awarded according to the following table:
Points are awarded according to the applicable regulatory text of the year in which the final championship result has been achieved.
For a series to award Super Licence points, a championship season must consist of at least five events spanning at least three different circuits, with alternative circuit configurations considered to be separate circuits. Additionally, if less than sixteen drivers start the first race of an event, the number of points awarded will decrease by 10% per driver below the minimum (90% points if fifteen drivers start, 80% points if fourteen drivers start, etc.). If fewer than sixteen drivers start the first race of multiple events, then the event with the lowest number of drivers will be used for the above calculation.
A driver can earn points from either 1 or 2 series in a calendar year. The results from a maximum of 2 championships can be accumulated from a single calendar year, provided that the start date of the second championship falls after the end date of the first championship during the year in question.
