Red Bull and Aston Martin have been found guilty of breaching the F1 cost cap
The team, which finished second in the constructors’ standings to Mercedes-AMG last year, has also been found to have committed what is known as a"procedural" breach for the late submission of files, an offence that Aston Martin has also been found guilty of.
A range of penalties for Red Bull are possible: a reprimand, a deduction of drivers’ and/or constructors’ championship points, suspension from competition, increased limitations on aerodynamic testing and a reduction of the team’s future cost cap.The confirmation of the FIA’s findings follows in the wake of stringent denials by Red Bull team principal Christian Horner at both the Singapore and Japanese GPs that the team had committed a breach of the budget cap.
“Our 2021 submission was below the cost cap limit, so we need to carefully review the FIA’s findings as our belief remains that the relevant costs are under the 2021 cost cap amount.
