Lewis Hamilton Says "Imperative" Formula One Cost Cap Rules Enforced

Seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton said Thursday that any team breaking Formula One's cost cap must be punished, after governing body FIA pushed the findings of an investigation back to next week.

FIA had been due to reveal Wednesday if any team had breached last season's $145 million budget cap, but released a statement instead saying the report would be delayed until Monday, October 10.

Rival teams claimed at last weekend's Singapore Grand Prix that two teams, thought to be Red Bull and Aston Martin, had exceeded the cap, which was introduced last season to make racing more competitive.

Red Bull's Max Verstappen pipped Hamilton of Mercedes to last season's title on the last lap of a controversial final race at Abu Dhabi.
