Mexico City Grand Prix: Speculation over potential cost cap breaches has intensified in Formula One after the sport’s governing body delayed the release of the 2024 financial compliance results.

The FIA has yet to publish the official accounts — a move that has sparked curiosity across the paddock, given that confirmation of compliance in previous years had arrived much earlier.

Sauber team principal Jonathan Wheatley suggested that the delay could indicate financial trouble for one or more teams. “I think the delay in announcing made it very clear to all of us that there were some teams in trouble, or a team in trouble perhaps. Nobody’s doing it intentionally. These things happen sometimes,” Wheatley said during a press conference at the Mexico City Grand Prix.
