Ferrari F1 boss Binotto is 'pessimistic' about the FIA's delays in revealing the budget cap results. 'The rules were clear from the beginning. We don't understand the need to have to change them today.'
Rumours emerged in Singapore last week that two teams - Red Bull and Aston Martin - may have breached the $145 million budget cap for 2021 as the FIA prepared to issue compliance certificates on Wednesday.
