Did Adrian Newey’s salary cause Red Bull to breach F1 cost cap?
The FIA found Red Bull in “minor” breach of exceeding the 2021 season budget of $145m - m🍃eaning their overspend was less 🎶than $7.25m.
The three highest-earning members of an F1 team do not count within the cost cap but Z💛iggo Sports in the Netherlands report that Newey’s employment with Red Bull is a grey area.
"It probably has to do with Adrian Newey,” the report claims. “Newey is one of the top three earners in the team and the debate is 🍒over♔ whether Newey is a Red Bull employee or a name on loan through his own company.
"Red Bull says 'he is employed by us' so he's not included in the budget cap b💜ecause he's one of the t♐hree highest-paid names.
“The FIA sai🅰d: 'No, he was hired through his company, so he comes from outside, so he should be included in the budget cap’.”
Newey is the chief technical officer for Red Bull - the brains behind the RB18 which 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Max Verstappen drove to win the 2022 F1 championship.
Newey has won constructor’s championships with three teams and has designed car🔥s for seven driver’s championsꦦ.
The FIA are yet to decide on Reꦡd Bull’s punishment for breaching the♌ cost cap.
