Red Bull were the only team ♛to have been ꦬfound guilty of a “minor breach” of F1’s financial regulations for 2021.

, although according to Red Bull, the majority of that ꦅwas due to a tax credit nuance. 

Most of Redꦚ Bull’s overspend came in areas such as catering, old pa♔rts and covering things like sick pay.

In the end, Red Bu🌊ll were hit with a fine and a reduction in wind tunnel time.

Ben Sulayem reveal♎ed that teams were pushing for harsher pun🎀ishment.

“I believe that there was a balance between [the financials] and the sporting penalties,” Ben Sulayem said. “But we learned a lot and a big review is going into it, because who knows in the first year [of the cost cap] what is going to be the o🍌utcome?

“If you look at the other big teams, they will say we have been light on them. [In terms of] the penalty, some of them want to be hanged, they w🧜anted to see blood, and the teams themselves see this as huge themselves. 

“So where do we draw [the line]? We have to be fair. Do we want to get rid of them or straighten up and not do it? The only thing I would sa🏅y is☂ that what we did in September/October should be done earlier. 

“But as it is the first year, we have learned a lot from it - 🌞and we are still learning. It is better to come at me in May and not just in Oct🐠ober.”

The FIA⭕ president also voiced h꧒is frustration about information being leaked.

Recently, th🅺e FIA have announced that Shaila-Ann Rao has left her role as interim Secretary General for M🧜otor Sport after six months. 

She found herself at th🍒e centre of the controversy after Red Bull suspected that Rao - previously employed by Mercedes - had possibly relea♌sed confidential information.

"We were in Aust🌃ria having a meeting of the F1 Commission, and we were already talking about it," he added.

"It was already in the 🌜news, but it's frustrating sometimes because by the time you finish your meeting, something is going 🎃out."
