Overview
- Aston Martin accepted an Accepted Breach Agreement over a missing auditor signature that delayed its filing, with spending understood to be under the 2024 cap and no sporting penalty expected.
- The FIA confirmed its 2024 cost-cap review is not yet complete and has not issued compliance certificates, a slower timetable than the usual early September announcements.
- Multiple reports from the Mexico City paddock indicate at least one other unnamed team is being scrutinised for a potentially more serious infraction, though no identities or findings have been confirmed.
- Under the regulations, minor or procedural issues can be settled via an Accepted Breach Agreement, while alleged overspends can be referred to a Cost Cap Adjudication Panel with possible financial and sporting sanctions.
- The delay draws comparisons to 2022, when Red Bull received a $7 million fine and testing limits for a minor overspend and Aston Martin was fined for a procedural breach.
