Flavio Briatore Calls for Radical Change in F1 Cost Cap Regulations

Formula 1 is in for a major shake-up as Flavio Briatore, Alpine’s Executive Advisor, pushes for a groundbreaking adjustment to the sport’s cost cap rules. Briatore is advocating for a significant modification that would include driver salaries under the financial restrictions, aiming to address the escalating expenses in the world of motorsport.

Since its introduction in 2021, the cost cap has been a pivotal component of F1’s financial landscape, designed to create a more level playing field among teams of varying sizes. The current cap stands at $140.4 million for this year, encompassing a wide range of expenses excluding the salaries of the top three highest-paid staff members.

Briatore, a seasoned figure in the F1 scene with a rich history dating back to the late 1980s, is adamant that the time has come for a revision to the cost cap regulations. His proposal to include driver salaries within the cap comes as a response to the soaring costs associated with competing in the sport.

“The cost has increased dramatically. It’s not because the cost increased that the business is better or the show is better. It’s the same. The cost has gone up dramatically,” Briatore emphasized, shedding light on the financial strain faced by teams in the current F1 landscape.

The call to incorporate driver salaries in the cost cap is not without merit, as exemplified by top earners like Max Verstappen, whose $65 million annual salary alone nearly consumes half of Red Bull’s cost cap allocation for this year.

Briatore’s bold stance on the issue underscores the pressing need for F1 to adapt to the evolving demands of the sport, ensuring a sustainable and competitive environment for all teams involved. As the debate on the future of F1’s financial regulations continues to unfold, Briatore’s proposal could signal a significant turning point in the sport’s trajectory.

In a sport characterized by relentless competition on and off the track, Briatore’s push for change injects a new dimension into the ongoing discourse surrounding F1’s financial framework. With the 2025 season on the horizon, the potential revisions to the cost cap regulations could redefine the financial landscape of Formula 1 for years to come.
