F1: Honda and Alpine fined by FIA over engine cost cap

Formula 1 introduced a cost cap on team spending in 2021, followed by a similar cap on power unit manufacturers in 2022, to ensure fair competition. F1 engine manufacturers Honda and Alpine have been fined by the FIA ​​for minor procedural breaches related to the 2023 cost cap. While both companies stayed within overall spending limits, they failed to follow specific management guidelines. Honda Racing Corporation (HRC) was fined $600,000 and Alpine was fined $400,000. These irregularities are just minor oversights in the complex management process of cost caps. Both teams have been cooperative and transparent with the FIA ​​throughout the investigation. The FIA's decision to accept the breach agreement highlights the minor nature of the breach and the willingness of all parties to resolve the issue effectively. The result ensures the focus remains on track competition and the technological advances that drive Formula 1 forward. Also read: F1: Max Verstappen could face grid penalty at Brazilian GP The FIA…
