Red Bull were hit with a $7 million fine and 10 per cent reduction in aerodynamic testing time for their minor breach of the168澳洲5最新开奖结果: cost cap.

M🤪any rivals felt the punishment was too light and it would set a dangerous precedent in future financial years.

Giving his view on it to Gazzetta Dello Sport, Vasseur 𒁃believes the penal♛ty should be a sporting one, not a fine.

"A penalty like last year really isn't severe,” he said. “If 🐼it should be necessary ag🍃ain, such a penalty should be much heavier.

"You have to keep in mind that a technical advantage will translate into a 💜spor⛎ting advantage. Therefore, the penalty should be sporting and not a fine.  “In soccer, if you use a hand, it's a penalty... they don't give you a [non-sporting] penalty. 

“The deduction of 10 per cent wind tunnel time🐭 is a big joke. They have already done most of the work by then.

Vasseur expla𓂃ined why Red Bull’s overspend wasn’t as minor as some made o✅ut.

“A 5 per cent violation is not small, it is big," Vasseur added. If you have a 𒊎budget of $135 million, $80 million of that already goes to personnel, another $20 million to race costs, materials, br♊akes and so on. 

“Making four chassis at the begi𓂃nning of the season also costs about $20 million. Then you already arrive at about $120-125 million. Thi꧑s is about the same for everyone.

“That leaves about $10 million to develop. If you go a few million over your budget, then you should not look at the total $135 million, as has been said. We should collect♉ively not shove this under the rug, because then you risk it being discussed at the table.

“There is a big difference between an innocent mistake or a choice. A bit like soওmeone making a mistake on their tax return, versus a company arranging something to avoid taxes in a tax haven. We have to be tough: this is about the future of the budget cap.

“Otherwise, everyone is going to do the same thing. Then you fr❀ee up budget to pay the penalty and say amen. The big constructors can afford all this.”
