Christian Horner has suggested Formula 1’s budget cap row has been “designed to be a bit of a distraction” for Max Verstappen’s expected second title.

Last week, reports claimed two teams went over the limit of the $145 million budget cap with Red Bull and Aston Marin allegedly breaking the rules.

Ad Lewis Hamilton says the outcome of last year’s championship would have been different if Mercedes spent “300,000 more” on car developments.
