Red Bull have been168澳洲5最新开奖结果🦋: fined $7m and hit with a 10 percent reduction in their permitted aerodynamic allowance for the next 12 months after the 🃏FIA found it had exceeded last year’s $145m budge🌠t cap by £1.8m.
Mercedes, along with Ferrari and McLaren, had been one of Red Bull’s most voc🎃al rivals in calling for a severe penalty if a team 🌠were found guilty of breaking F1’s financial regulations.
Wolff praised F1’s governing body for being “robust” in its stance as he reacted to the news of Red Bull’s sanction following opening practice at the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Mexico City Grand Prix.
“I think the most important🔜 thing for me is there i🌳s a robust governance,” Wolff told Sky.
“They didn't bat an eyelid, they just followed tဣhe process.
"Federico [Lodi, FIA head of financial regulations] and his team, Sheila Ann [Rao] and Nicholas [Tombazis] were absolutely good in assessinไg.
"I know how rigorous they were with us, all throughout the year - that was a difficult proces🧔s.
"When I am seeing 13 posi🐬tions th🀅at were wrong, with us that wasn't the case.
“And it is good to see that there isꦬ a penalty, whether we deem it too low or too high.”
Asked if he thinks teams will consider breaching the cap now they know the extent of the pena🦩lty hande✃d to Red Bull, Wolff replied: "I think what you see beyond the sporting penalty and financial fine, there is also a reputational damage.
“And in a world of trans🧔parency and good g🦄overnance, that is just not on anymore.
"Complian𓆏ce-wise꧙, whatever team you are, you are responsible for representing your brand, your employees, your partners.
“And that’s why, fಞor us, it wouldn't be a busi♔ness case."
