F1 cost cap row to continue with "inflation skyrocketing and no-one happy" over increase

No team on the Formula 1 grid is happy with the compromise struck over the cost cap row, according to Toto Wolff.

A budget cap was introduced for the first time this season, but it quickly became clear that it was going to be difficult for most teams to comply. A huge increase in energy bills and inflation has added to the problem, with many teams already admitting that it would be impossible to stay within budget.

In response, F1 chiefs begrudgingly agreed to a marginal increase to £121.33m for the season but still there is unrest, says Wolff, because the big teams feel it is not enough and the smaller teams wanted no increase at all.
