The FIA and teams could not get the shorten race points allocation correct. Why would anyone think that the cost control rules are going to be spot on the first time they are applied. These are financial regulations which neither the FIA or teams have any experience establishing.

The thing is, the FIA isn't the one doing the work, independent firms are.
Just read this and look at how many different ways The teams are told it is on them to comply, and ensure they are in compliance.

2.11 The F1 Team should seek clarification from the Cost Cap Administration if it is uncertain
whether an entity should be included in its Reporting Group.
then you have the entire whistleblower section.
6.17 The Cost Cap Administration may grant partial or total immunity to any natural person who
discloses facts that are likely to constitute an infringement referred to in Article 8 of these
Financial Regulations, and/or who provides evidence allowing such facts to be prosecuted and
penalised. The degree of immunity granted to this person by the Cost Cap Administration
depends on the following factors:
And then you have this sledge hammer article.
9.8 In the event that:
(a) an F1 Team’s Full Year Reporting Documentation is incomplete, inaccurate or
misleading in any material respect; and
(b) the Cost Cap Adjudication Panel determines that that F1 Team’s CEO, CFO, Team
Principal and/or Technical Director was aware, or ought reasonably to have been
aware, of the same,
the Cost Cap Adjudication Panel may impose any of the sanctions permitted under the
International Sporting Code on the individual(s) concerned, with the exclusion of fines.
The regs read as you will comply, or you will feel the pain!
Mark my words their will be fire and brimstone if Redbull gets off with nothing but a smack across the wrist!
