There are growing suspicions in the F1 paddock that Red Bull and Aston Martin 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:exceeded last year’s $145m cost cap that was introduced with the aim of improving sustainability and leve♓lling the playing field. 

F1’s governing body the FIA is set to issue certificates of compliance with the 2021 financial regulations next week before the Japanese Grand Prix and said an𒁏y violation of the budget cap would be “dealt with”. 

Red Bull team principal Christian Horner insisted he is 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:“not aware” ofꦆ any pote🐽ntial breach and expressed confidence in his team’s submission. 

It marks the latest storm facing F1 after the credibility of the world championship was called into 🐓question following the controversial end to last season. 

A mishandled Safety Car period altered the outcome of the 2021 championship and enabled 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Max Verstappen to overtake 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lewis Hamilton to clinch his maiden world title on the last lap of the Abu𒉰 Dhabi finale, leaving Mercedes aggrieved. 

Mercedes team principal Wolff has called on new FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem to take🌌 a firm stance on any breach of the spending limit. 

"The cost cap is probably the most important evolution of regulations t𝔉o keep a level playing field to allow teams that haven♏'t got the full budget to catch up and to put a ceiling on the spending of the top teams,” Wolff told BBC Sport. 

"It is of huge impo🦄rtance for a demonstration that these regulations are policed and I have ꦇno reason to believe otherwise.

"The FIA, particularly Mohammed, has shown a pretty robust stance on enforcing all kinds of regulations. So if we are talkin𝐆g now aꦓbout something big, he will show the same integrity and leadership that he has done before.”

In his first press conference since taking office, Ben Sulayem said "if there is any breach, there is no forgiveness in this” i🌼n relation to Hamilton’s no-show at the FIA’s end-of-season prize-giving gala in Paris last December.
