The FIA has confirmed a “very minor” procedural breach of the Formula 1 cost cap rules has been committed by Aston Martin regarding their accounts from the 2024 season. However, the governing body has decided not to impose any sanctions after entering an Accepted Breach Agreement (ABA) with the team.
Aston Martin last week accepted that a small issue with their paperwork meant they had committed a procedural breach of the rules. There were also rumours that another team on the grid might have overspent in 2024, which would have been a “significant” breach of the rules, but the FIA has now confirmed that is not the case.
“Nine F1 teams were found in compliance for 2024, and Procedural Breach identified for AMR GP Ltd [Aston Martin Racing],” an FIA statement read. The Cost Cap Administration confirms that although AMR has been found to be in procedural breach, it has not exceeded the Cost Cap level.
“The Procedural Breach was of a very minor nature, originated by unpredictable circumstances outside the control of the F1 Team. AMR and FIA have entered an ABA on September 29, 2025, to resolve the matter.”
