Overview
- The FIA said its Cost Cap Administration is still finalising the 2024 assessments for teams and power unit manufacturers and will publish results shortly, declining to comment on individual submissions.
- Aston Martin has signed an Accepted Breach Agreement for a minor procedural error caused by a missing auditor signature that delayed its filing, with audited spending understood to be below the cap and no sporting penalty expected.
- An ABA resolves procedural or minor overspend breaches with agreed sanctions and no right of appeal, a mechanism previously used alongside penalties such as Red Bull’s 2021 fine and testing restriction and Aston Martin’s earlier procedural fine.
- The certification is later than the usual September timeline, and the FIA’s practice of releasing all outcomes together means one unresolved case can delay publication for the entire grid.
- Multiple outlets report at least one other unnamed team is being investigated for a potentially more serious overspend and is disputing the allegation, which has dominated paddock discussion at the Mexico City Grand Prix.
