All F1 Teams Comply; Aston Martin Accepted Minor Breach

The FIA confirmed all 10 Formula 1 teams and the five engine manufacturers complied with the 2024 cost cap. Aston Martin was found to have committed a very minor procedural breach after failing to submit fully signed audited financial statements by the March 31 deadline, reportedly because an external signatory was unwell. The accounts showed Aston Martin had not exceeded the $135 million cap and there was no evidence the team sought or obtained any competitive advantage. Aston Martin cooperated with the inquiry and entered an Accepted Breach Agreement with the FIA on 29 September 2025, under which it covered the administrative costs of the process but received no fines or sporting penalties. The outcome preserves the integrity of the cost-cap regime introduced in 2021 and resolves weeks of speculation after a delayed report.
