The FIA has ramped up monitoring of team’s non-Formula 1 activities, including interviewing key staff, to ensure they are not getting around cost cap rules.As reported by Autosport last week, the FIA has closed off a potential loophole that some teams may have been using in getting personnel outside of their main F1 team to help work on car design and development projects.
Amid fears from several teams that the use of non-F1 staff was being exploited in such a manner, the FIA responded with the issuing of a technical directive earlier this year to stamp out any knowledge being passed to F1 teams that is not accounted for under the cost cap. It is understood that, as part of enhanced monitoring introduced since the first cost cap submissions were made in 2021, a deeper probe has been made to check on non-F1 activities.
Teams have welcomed the move by the FIA to hone in on areas where concerns had emerged. Early feedback suggests that some squads have had to change how they operate though. However, the behaviour of teams will continue to be monitored to ensure that they comply with regulations and do not find alternative ways around cost cap rules.
