Suspended Sanctions - Individual Members

Chapter: D13

In Simple Terms

If a team member breaks cost cap rules, the FIA's Cost Cap Adjudication Panel can pause their punishment for a set time or indefinitely. However, they must follow specific conditions during this suspension period. If they break those conditions, the original punishment can be enforced.

  • The Cost Cap Adjudication Panel has the power to suspend sanctions temporarily or permanently
  • Suspension is conditional - the penalized individual must comply with specified rules during the suspension
  • Violations of suspension conditions can result in the original sanction being reinstated
  • This applies specifically to individual F1 team members (not teams)
Official FIA Text
