Chapter: ARTICLE D1: GENERAL PRINCIPLES

In Simple Terms

If a team also manufactures its own F1 engine (like Mercedes or Ferrari), it must follow two separate sets of financial rules: one for operating as a team and another for operating as an engine manufacturer. These rule sets are completely independent, so the team can't use compliance with one to excuse breaking the other.

  • Teams that manufacture their own power units must comply with both team and manufacturer financial regulations
  • The two sets of regulations are entirely separate and independent of each other
  • Teams cannot use compliance in one area to offset violations in another area
  • This applies to integrated F1 teams like Mercedes, Ferrari, and Renault
Official FIA Text

The requirements of these Financial Regulations and the requirements of the FIA Formula One Financial Regulations for F1 Power Unit Manufacturers are distinct from and independent of each other. Where an F1 Team is also a Power Unit Manufacturer, it must comply separately with both sets of regulations.
