What is the F1 budget cap?
The F1 budget cap limits how much teams can spend each year to make the sport fairer and more competitive. It stops wealthier teams, like Mercedes, from simply outspending rivals. This helps level the playing field, making Antonelli's championship win even more impressive as teams must be clever with their resources.
