Red Bull “raise eyebrows” at ex-Mercedes advisor within FIA during cost cap decision
The FIA found Red Bull in “minor” breach of the 2021 budget of $145m but, ahead of the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:F1 United States Grand Prix, have not decided how to penalise them.
Christian Horner’s team have now "raised eyebrows" at Shaila-Ann Rao, who was previously a legal advisor to Mercedes and now works for the FIA as their interim secretary-general, De Telegꦜraaf have reported.
Red Bull are also denying that꧙ the salary of Adri🍌an Newey is the reason for their overspend, the report says.
Chief🐼 technical officer is among Red Bull’s highest-earning three employees therefore is exempt from the budget cap, they claim. Previou๊s reports had suggested that Newey had been employed in a way which meant his salary had broken cost cap rules.
Red Bull still believe that the overspend (which by FIA definition is less than $7.25) was caused by issues such as 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:free lunch for staff at their Milton Keynes headquarters.
The team are “irritate⛦d” by the lack of a decision from the ꦡFIA, the report says.
