Christian Horner’s swipe at Mercedes duo's F1 cost cap claims: 'Easy to throw shade when you’re not performing'

Last year Red Bull were hit with a $7m 🍎fine and a꧟ 10 percent reduction in windtunnel time over a 12 month period after being found guilty of breaching the 2021 financial regulations.
Despiteღ the penalty, Red Bull have continued their dominant form and are in a league of their own, winning all 10 grand prix so far thi꧟s season.
Speaking ahead of the Hungarian Grand Prix, Hamilton expressed h𒅌is concerns that teams may continue to breach the cost cap because they “know they are just going to get a slap on the wrist”.
Meanwhile, Mercedes teammate Russell said Red🌺 Bull’s punishment “didn’t fit the crime”.
Horner hit back at the Mercꦉedes duo’s claims, telling Sky𝓀 F1: "Believe me, the hit that we've taken with the lack of wind tunnel time that we have compared to our competitors is a massive compromise.
“If wind tunnels don't count theꩵn why don't we ju👍st get rid of them?
"It's always easy to throw shade when you're not performing. It's one of the things in F1𓂃 that will always continue to hapꦐpen.”
Red Bull can set a new record of 12 consecutive victories this weekend in Hungary after equ𝓰alling McLaren’s tally of 11 in a row last time out at Silverstone.
"I'm just incredibly pro🌼ud of the job that our ♉team's doing with the constraints and handicap that we have,” Horner added.
"To be performing at 𝐆the level we have this year,🏅 to have achieved 11 straight victories... it's been an outstanding achievement."
