“Factually incorrect” - FIA hit back over “rumour” that F1 teams broke cost cap rule

Sky’s Cra꧅ig Slater revealed that the gove💧rning body has shot down a report via which claimed at least two F1 teams are set to be found in breach of the 2022 cost cap.
“They are quite adamant in their response 𝐆to me,” .
“They have said th꧃at the reports are factually wr🍰ong.
“They said that the auditing process is still ongoin𒅌g with regards to the cost cap, and it is scheduled🌜 to conclude in the coming weeks.
“After which there would be a period required fo𒅌r assessment and f𝓡inalisation of review.
“They are sayi🎶ng that there is no deadline submitted to the teams for them to gain certification for the cost cap.
“The FIA are telling me that any suggestion of a delay to the process b🍰ecaus൲e of more in-depth investigation this year - these reports carry stories of the FIA investigating whether some teams are using other projects to mask development of F1 cars - the FIA tell me there is no delay because of that.
“Also, talk of potential breaches, at this stage, is unfo♕unded.”
The original report cited “rumours” in the paddock amid an FIA investigation into the finances of all 10 Fꦦ1 teams pertaining to the 2022 budget of $140m.
The FIA were turning up announced at factories to interview staff, and are also aware of a “grey area” whereby teams were essentially hiding engineers ౠin separate projects - for example, around boats or road cars - to keep them outside of the cost cap.
Sky’s report, ahead of this weekend’s ☂F1 Hungarian Grand Prix, suggests the FIA have denied t♕hose claims.
