“Too early” to know if three teams broke F1 cost cap | "No time scale" on verdict
A report by German media outlet AMuS stated that at le🃏ast two teams had gone over the cost cap for last season, with other publications claiming that three teams had.
Thꦏe rumours were quickly shot down by the FIA, with teams expected to be informed in August following the governing body’s audit process.
It will likely be a major talking point after the summer break, particularly after Red Bull were found guilty of breaking F1’s financial regulations for 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen’s maiden title-winning year.
Speaking ahead of the H♈ungarian Grand Prix weekend, Croft revealed that it’s still premature to say how many teams have 𝔍broken the cost cap rules.
“The whole cost cap auditing process has got a lot more complex than last year because new things have been added that should be included within the cost cap,” he said. “It’s an ever evolving procဣ🍒ess so the FIA absolutely gets it right for the future.
“As far as I am aware, the auditors have just finished their process with each of the 10 individual teams and it’s too early for them to say definitively whether team𝕴s have breached 😼the cost cap or not.
“Now, the reports and rumours that are coming out that three teams have breached it may turn out to be true - I am not sayin𓃲g that won’t be the end of the result but my understanding having spoken to a member of theඣ FIA at a very senior level today that it’s too early to say that for definite.”
Croft expect🦩s the verdict of the audits to be in the public domain by September.
“There’s no time scale on this because they want to get it right,” he added. “I would be expecting a result sometime around August where the teams are informed whether they made it🦹 or not an🥃d then the process will go on with those teams to explain why they’ve failed the cost cap if indeed they have and we should find out in September or so.”
