According to RacingNews365, Williams boss James Vowles wants teams lower in the constructors' standings to be allowed to spend more, similar to how aero testing time is allocated. Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff rejected spending rules based on championship position and warned that the cost cap is holding down engineers' salaries. The outlet reports the proposal needs six votes in the F1 Commission and currently lacks a majority.

This report has not been officially confirmed. We will update it if that changes.
