Christian Horner is reacting to the FIA's verdict on Red Bull's breach of the F1 cost cap ⬇️
17:43"Catering costs we believed where excluded. When we submitted the submission, we were £3.7million below the cap. Free food and beverage has always been provided. The FIA took a different viewpoint - food is not excludable.""We took them up on their offer and felt it could be dealt quickly. Through that period we interacted with the panel and shared opinions on the topics.
"It was concluded earlier this week where he have been given a significant penalty - financially and sporting. The more dreconian part is the sporting penalty. That it is an enormous amount. That represents between a quarter and half a second worth of lap time. That has a direct effect on next year's car and will be in place for 12 months.""April 2021 - the first submission of these regulations was made. That was shared with the FIA and their team.
"So basically, April and June, we didn't hear anything. The first we actually heard was in September with some preliminary findings where some clarifications were requested, which we officially responded to the 13 points that were raised. We felt that we had answered all the questions that were raised. We turned up in Singapore and were surprised, and shocked by all the big claims by our rivals.
"On October 3, the day after Singapore, there was a meeting to discuss future power unit regulations but it was used to explain elements of these new regulations. This is the first year of the process, it's new for them and it's new for us."
