Appeal of Cost Cap Adjudication Panel Decision

Chapter: D9

In Simple Terms

If a team is found to have broken F1's cost cap rules, they can appeal the decision made against them. This gives teams a chance to challenge the penalty in a higher process if they believe the decision was unfair.

  • Only the team that was penalized can file an appeal
  • The appeal must be against a final Cost Cap Adjudication Panel decision
  • This provides teams with a second chance to dispute cost cap violations
  • The appeal process is separate from the initial cost cap investigation
Official FIA Text

An appeal of a final Cost Cap Adjudication Panel decision may be made by the parties who are the subject of a case.
