Sky’s Craig S🎀later revealed that the governing body has shot down a report via which claimed at least two F1 teams are set to be found in breach of the 2022 cost cap.

“The🌃y are quite adamant in their response to me,” .

“They have said that the reports are factually wrong🥃.

“They said that the auditing process is still ongoing with regards to the cost cap, and it ✱is schedꦅuled to conclude in the coming weeks.

“After which there would be a period required for a🧸ssessment and finalisation of review.

“They are saying that there is no deadline submitted to the teams for them to gain certification for the cost 🐲cap.

“The FIA are telling me that any suggestion of a delay to the process because of more in-depth investigation this year - these reports carry stories of the FIA investigating whether some teams are using other projects to mask development of F1 cars - the FIA tell me there🥃 is no delay because of that.

“Also, talk of potential breaches༺, at this stage, is unfounded.”

The original report cited “rumours” in the paddock amid an FIA investigation into the finances of🌄 all 10 F1 teamღs pertaining to the 2022 budget of $140m.

The FIA were turning up announced at factories to interview staff, and are also aware of a “grey area” whereby teams were essentially hiding engineers in separate projects - for example, around boats or road cars - to kee🌳p them outside of the cost cap.

Sky’s rep♈ort, ahead of this weekend’s F1 Hungarian Grand Prix, suggests the FIA have denied those claims.
