Enhanced Monitoring

Chapter: D12

In Simple Terms

If a team breaks the cost cap rules, the panel can punish them with enhanced monitoring in addition to other penalties. This means the team gets extra scrutiny and oversight of their finances and operations going forward. It's like being put on probation to ensure they don't break the rules again.

  • Enhanced monitoring is an additional penalty layered on top of other sanctions
  • The Cost Cap Adjudication Panel has the authority to impose this measure
  • Teams under enhanced monitoring face increased financial and operational oversight
  • It serves as a deterrent and compliance mechanism for repeat or serious violations
Official FIA Text
