While teams are free, provided the other sports do not have similar restrictions in place, to bring knowledge gained within F1 to non-F1 activities, there is a concern within FIA that if the reverse were true, that could give a team a competitive advantage. Mercedes has an Applied Science division which develops technology for the INEOS Britannia America’s Cup team, where Mercedes is a partner. For example, Ferrari just returned to 24 Hours of Le Mans and won in their comeback to one of motorsport’s Triple Crown events. McLaren, Mercedes, Red Bull, Aston Martin, and Ferrari are the most notable. Many teams have engineering divisions outside of F1.


At issue? Potential grey areas regarding teams and their non-F1 activities. According to this report from The Race, TD45 comes into play with “immediate effect” and is backdated to the beginning of the 2023 calendar year. That leads us to Technical Directive 45, reportedly issued by FIA in recent days. However, where there are rules and regulations, there are potential loopholes, and lawyers looking to find them. Aston Martin was fined for a “ procedural breach,” while Red Bull was both fined, and hit with a reduction in their aerodynamic testing allowance, for both a “procedural breach” as well as a “minor” overspend above the cost-cap limit. Last fall, the first penalties were announced under the new cost-cap regulations following FIA’s review of each team’s spending during the 2021 F1 season.

The full cost-cap regulations, which you can review here, aim to to “promote the competitive balance of the Championship, promote the sporting fairness of the Championship, and ensure the long-term financial stability and sustainability of the F1 teams.” Implemented for the 2021 season, the F1 cost-cap aimed to equal the playing field in the sport by limiting the amount of money teams could spend during a calendar year.
