Investigations commenced following a complaint by another F1 Team

In Simple Terms

If an F1 team believes a competitor has broken cost cap or technical rules, they can file an official complaint between January and June. The complaint must include evidence and be signed by the team's CEO and CFO. The Cost Cap Administration will then investigate if the complaint meets all requirements.

• Teams can lodge formal complaints about rival teams' non-compliance with F1 regulations
• Complaints must be submitted within the January-June window following the reporting period
• Evidence and identification of specific breached rules must be included in the report
• CEO and CFO signatures are mandatory; the Cost Cap Administration reviews if conditions are met before investigating
