FIA Super Licence rules amendment
From 2016, drivers must have accumulated 40 points over a 3 year period. Points will be allocated dependent on which motor series they have taken part in, and levels of results achieved.
Drivers must also be 18+, spent at least 2 years in junior single seater categories, hold a valid road driving licence and pass a test on the sporting regulations of F1. Existing requirement of 300 km in a recent F1 car remains in place.
These rules mean that Max Verstappen would be ineligible for the 2015 season if the rules existed now. More details in the article:
