A number of recent reports have alleged that at least two teams had gone over the 2022 cost cap, though F1’s governing body the FIA has moved to sh🅷oot down the rumours. 

Speaking ahead of this weekend’s Hungarian Grand Prix, Sky Sports’ David Croft reported that it is still “too early” to know which teams, if any, h𓆏ave broken the financial regulations. 

“♛Yes, it’s definitely 🅘a concern,” Hamilton told Sky F1. 

“I mean, it wasn’t really a big punishment last time so⛦ there’s no real [deterrent].

“There’ll be people that will probably go for it again, and know they’re just gonna get slapped oꦓn the wrist.”

Red Bull were hit with a $7million f🌳ine and a reduction in aerodynamic testing time over a 12 month period for breaching the 2021 cost cap.ꦍ 

F1 CEO Stefano Domenicaliജ has called on the FIA to impose sporting sanctions, rather than financial penalties, to any teams found guiltꩲy of offences. 

Asked what punishment he feels would be appropriate for any confirmed breaches, Hamil💞ton replied: "൩I’m not going to say what it should be, it’s not my job to do that. 

“We have people in place that are supposed to police that, but it doesn’t surprise me. It was not a big penaltyꩲ before, so…” 

Hamilton also took a swipe a🌞t the rate of upgrades Red Bull have brought to their 2023 challenger, with the RB19 featuring rev🌞ised sidepods in Hungary. 

“I’ve heard that Red Bull might have an upgrade package this weekend, once again,” he sไaid. “So we’ll have to see. They seem to be continuously bringing💛 upgrades on their car.”
