Article D14.1
Arrangements for new entrants
Chapter: D
In Simple Terms
New F1 teams must follow the sport's financial rules for the two years before they start racing in the championship. However, they get one exception and don't have to follow one specific financial requirement (Article D7.2.1) during those preparation years.
- New teams must comply with Financial Regulations for two full years before entering F1
- These two years are the reporting periods immediately before their first championship season
- New teams are exempt from Article D7.2.1 requirements during these preparation periods
- This rule helps new entrants manage the financial burden of joining F1
Official FIA Text
A new F1 Team must comply with these Financial Regulations in respect of the two Full Year Financial Regulations Reporting Periods immediately prior to the first Championship season in which such F1 Team participates, except that it shall not be required to comply with Article D7.2.1 in respect of these periods.
