FIA double down on 'unsubstantiated speculation' over 2021 finances
The FIA has doubled down on the recent speculation among teams over whether any have broken the cost cap rules. Most of the team bosses are unanimous in wanting to see firm action against any team who has breached the rules due to the performance gains, however the FIA has reiterated that until the matter has been finalised there will not be any more information provided. They added: "As previously communicated, there has been significant and unsubstantiated speculation and conjecture in relation to this matter, and the FIA reiterates that until it is finalised, no further information will be provided. "The FIA also reiterates that any suggestion that FIA personnel have disclosed sensitive information is equally baseless."
