MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — The president of Formula 1's governing body is considering eliminating the cost cap that teams operate under because managing it has become such a headache for the FIA.
Mohammed Ben Sulayem also said before the Miami Grand Prix on Sunday that he supports a proposal floated by McLaren Racing boss Zak Brown that would require teams making any allegations against another to lodge a formal complaint with a monetary deposit. Brown suggested the money would be returned if the allegations proved true, but it should count against the cost cap if unproven as a deterrent to baseless and damaging claims.
