Last week rumours came out saying that three teams have been found to be in breach of the 2022 budget car. The FIA has now finally given an official response.
A few days ago, Italian branch of Motorsport.com reported that three teams have been found to be in breach of the 2022 budget cap, but the publication did not name any names.
The same was reported by German publication Auto Motor und Sport, but they also did not name the teams.
The FIA has now finally issued an official statement commenting on the rumours.
“We’d like to reiterate the ongoing process preceding financial regulation certification for the teams – none of which have been informed of their certification status,” said an FIA spokesperson.

“The auditing fieldwork is still ongoing and is scheduled to conclude in the upcoming weeks, after which there will be a period required for the finalisation of the review.
“There is not, and has never been, a specific deadline for certification, and any suggestions of delays to this process or potential breaches are completely unfounded – the Cost Cap Administration will formally communicate its findings according to the procedure set out in the Financial Regulations.
“The timeframe is intentionally not fixed in order not to prejudice the robustness and the effectiveness of the review,” the spokesperson concluded.
