Aston Martin Accepts FIA Cost-Cap Breach Agreement

Aston Martin has accepted an Accepted Breach Agreement (ABA) with the FIA after a procedural breach in its 2024 cost-cap submission when an auditor’s signature arrived after the March 31 deadline due to extenuating circumstances. The team did not exceed the cost cap and re-filed fully audited accounts once the signature was obtained; the FIA was informed and treated the matter as a paperwork breach rather than a financial overspend. No sporting sanction is expected and any penalty is reported to be minimal and administrative, consistent with standard ABA practice. The FIA has not yet published full 2024 cost-cap audit results or issued compliance certificates; its Cost Cap Administration says it is finalising the review and is targeting communication of outcomes before the Brazil round, which has intensified speculation about other potential investigations.
