The FIA has fined Honda Racing Corporation (HRC) and Alpine a combined $1 million after both entered Accepted Breach Agreements (ABA) due to breaking Formula 1’s cost cap for power units.

These fines follow a review of the cost cap regulations introduced in 2023, with HRC penalized $600,000 and Alpine $400,000.

Unlike Red Bull's situation in 2022, the cost cap administration found that both HRC and Alpine acted in good faith, showing no signs of deliberate misconduct.

HRC’s breach involved submitting inaccurate documentation, specifically due to incorrect adjustments and exclusions related to dyno maintenance and inventory costs.

Alpine's violation, on the other hand, was due to delayed and incomplete documentation that missed essential information and failed to follow all required procedures.

The FIA decided to resolve the matter without further action, given the minor nature of the breaches and both companies' cooperation. HRC and Alpine must pay their fines and cover the investigation costs within 30 days, with no option to appeal.

The FIA wrote the following:

"The Cost Cap Administration recognised that both PUMs [power unit manufacturers] have acted cooperatively and in good faith throughout the review process and have sought to provide additional information and evidence when requested in a timely manner.

"There is no accusation or evidence that either Alpine or HRC has sought or obtained any undue advantage as a result of the breach."

Renault, the owner of Alpine, recently decided to end its long-standing F1 power unit program at its Viry-Chatillon facility in France ahead of 2026, stopping development of new engines. Instead, Alpine is expected to become a customer of Mercedes engines for F1’s new regulatory era.
