US EditionFIA considers eliminating F1's cost cap and ponders McLaren's proposal on paying to lodge complaints
- Mohammed Ben Sulayem, president of Formula 1's governing body, is considering eliminating the current cost cap while supporting a new proposal at the 2025 Miami Grand Prix.
- This consideration arises because managing the $140.4 million cost cap for the 2025 season has become a significant challenge for the FIA and teams alike.
- Zak Brown, McLaren Racing boss, proposed requiring teams to lodge formal complaints with a monetary deposit, refundable if allegations prove true, to deter baseless claims.
- Ben Sulayem supported the proposal, emphasizing that teams should not be able to make allegations without submitting a formal written complaint, and that filing such protests should require a payment, suggesting a fee in the region of $50,000.
- If adopted, this policy could reduce frivolous protests by charging unproven allegation costs against the cap, potentially streamlining disputes and reducing distractions in Formula 1.
