Article D14.1.1
Arrangements for New Entrants
Chapter: D14
In Simple Terms
New F1 teams must follow the same financial rules as established teams starting from the year before they join the championship. However, they get one exception: they don't have to comply with a specific financial reporting requirement (Article D7.2.1), giving them a little breathing room as they prepare to enter the sport.
- New teams must comply with F1 Financial Regulations in their first year
- Rules apply from the Full Year Financial Reporting Period before their debut season
- Exception granted: new teams are exempted from Article D7.2.1 requirements
- 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 Full Year Financial Regulations Reporting Period 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.
