FIA Closes F1 Cost Cap Loophole with New Regulations

• The FIA's World Motor Sport Council approved new regulations to prevent teams' non-F1 staff from working on Formula 1 projects.
• The decision follows the discovery that some teams had been using staff and facilities allocated to other activities to bypass the budget cap.
• The new rules aim to prevent an imbalance between teams with other activities and those without.
• The FIA's intervention was likely due to the exploitation of a loophole by some teams.
• The new regulations will take effect immediately, ensuring compliance with the budget cap.
