F1 team find FIA budget cap loophole
Sky Sports pundit Ted Kravitz discussed a potential loophole in the FIA budget cap rules that an F1 team has reportedly found. The budget cap restricts teams from overspending on car upgrades, staff recruitment, and logistics, but not on driver salaries. Red Bull faced penalties in 2021 for exceeding the cap. Cadillac, entering F1 in 2026, is leveraging this loophole to recruit top talent before their debut season. Despite signing top drivers like Valtteri Bottas and Sergio Perez, Cadillac expects to be at the bottom of the grid in 2026, yet aims for competitiveness by 2028 with a new power unit partnership with General Motors.
