Red Bull’s rivals point finger amid cost cap saga
Red Bull’s F1 rivals hav🌼e called for severe punishment to be hဣanded out amid the ongoing saga.
Two team bosses have told Sky Sports anonymously that Red Bull’s breach of the $145m spending limit for 2021 should be met with a sub𝓡stantial penalty.
"We tend to agree that teams can gain a significant advantage by not adhering to the cap,” one sa🐠id. “The punishment must be sucౠh that the advantage gained is removed and then some in order to disincentivise future breaches.”
Another team bꦉoss said: “The FIA should be left the freedom to do its own investigation and come up with the appropriate penalty, it should not be a case of teams pushing for this or that outcome.”
But th▨ey added: “It is obvious to us that a penalty will n💎eed to go well beyond a fine, or else teams will just game the system and consider the fine as cost of business.
“But it is for the FIA to find their solution, aware of the fact that faiꦐlure to do so will me𝓀an the end of the budget cap.”
It comes after a letter from McLaren boss Zak Brown to the FIA e🎐merged in which he declared that overspending.
