Article D12.4.1
Suspended Sanctions
Chapter: D12
In Simple Terms
If a team breaks the cost cap rules and gets penalized, the Cost Cap Adjudication Panel can pause or delay that penalty if the team agrees to follow certain conditions. This gives teams a chance to fix their mistakes without immediate punishment, as long as they behave properly going forward.
- The panel can suspend any penalty completely or partially
- Suspension can be temporary (for a set time) or permanent
- Teams must follow specific conditions to keep the suspension in place
- This provides teams an opportunity to correct violations without immediate consequences
Official FIA Text
The Cost Cap Adjudication Panel may suspend the application of any imposed sanction in whole or in part, for a specified period or indefinitely, subject to compliance by the F1 Team with specified conditions.
