Procedural breach

Both Alpine Racing SAS: Engine manufacturers Honda and Alpine have both committed procedural breaches of Formula 1’s cost-cap regulations. The breaches, which occurred during the 2023 season, did not involve overspending but rather discrepancies in financial reporting, as confirmed by the sport's governing body FIA.

Honda, the engine supplier for reigning world champions Red Bull, and Alpine, the manufacturer for the Renault-owned F1 team, are both said to have cooperated fully with the FIA’s investigation.

In a statement, the FIA emphasised that neither company had exceeded the cost cap but had instead made administrative errors while submitting their financial information.
