Several top teams have indicated that staying within the cap will be impossible as a result of inflation and rising freight costs, with Red Bull’s Christian Horner suggesting that up to seven teams will go over the total 2022 limit of $141.2m - $1.2m added to the initial $140m for the extra race over the 21-race plan.
Meanwhile, Alpine and Alfa Romeo are resisting a push for an upward adjustment to the cap that would give teams breathing space.
