McLaren has been fined €400,000 for a cost cap breach in Formula E, a series it no longer races in
McLaren was fined €400,000 for exceeding cost cap regulations in Formula E, a series it left after the 2024/2025 season. The team had competed in Formula E for three seasons between 2022 and 2025. McLaren decided to focus on its Hypercar debut in the World Endurance Championship, F1, and IndyCar, leading to its withdrawal from Formula E. Despite leaving Formula E, McLaren received the fine for overspending by 4.54% of the cost cap. The team cooperated with the investigation and willingly accepted the fine to settle the matter. McLaren’s overspending was attributed to winding down costs after exiting the series, not for performance-related reasons.
