What is F1's budget cap?
Formula 1 introduced a budget cap in 2021 to make the sport fairer and more sustainable. It limits how much teams can spend on car development, operations, and staff over a season. Mercedes' boss Toto Wolff mentioned they've added fewer new parts than Ferrari to stay within this $215 million limit, showing how it directly impacts team strategy and performance.
