FIA closes F1 cost cap loophole with new staff rules

First reported · latest

The FIA's World Motor Sport Council approves new regulations preventing teams' non-F1 staff from working on Formula 1 projects, closing a cost cap loophole and ensuring fair competition.

How the sources differ

Autosport and Motorsport.com both report the WMSC approval and the loophole, with Autosport emphasizing the imbalance between teams. F1i frames it as a 'firewall' and 'sweeping restrictions', while the Reddit post simply shares the news without additional detail.

Recommended first read: Autosport provides the most complete explanation of the regulation and its purpose, with a clear headline and image, and is not paywalled.
