Heading into the Singapore Grand Prix weekend, it came to light that two teams were in breach of the 2021 Formula 1 budget cap. Though not confirmed, it was speculated that the guilty teams were Red Bull Racing and Aston Martin.
Red Bull and Aston Martin have been found in breach of Formula 1 financial rules, the motor sports governing body (FIA) announced on Monday, saying any punishment would be decided at a later date. The FIA said a review of the teams had found that Red Bull, home of world champion Max Verstappen, "is considered to be in procedural and minor overspend breaches of the Financial Regulations" with Aston Martin "in procedural breach of the financial regulations." The FIA said it was "currently determining the appropriate course of action to be taken."
Red Bull say they are ‘surprised and disappointed‘ with the FIA’s cost cap findings that state the team breached the 2021 financial cap by a minor overspend.
Red Bull and Aston Martin have been found to be in breach of the cost cap rules for the 2021 Formula 1 season, the FIA has confirmed.
Max Verstappen said the confusion at the end of the Japanese Grand Prix that saw him declared Formula One world champion was "quite funny", but an impending cost-cap ruling could wipe the smiles off faces in the Red Bull garage. The 25-year-old Dutchman became the second youngest double world champion on Sunday, after Sebastian Vettel, when Ferrari's Charles Leclerc was given a time penalty relegating him to third place at Suzuka. The news emerged as Verstappen was giving his post-race TV interview, but even then there was uncertainty as to whether reduced championship points would be awarded because the winner had completed only 29 of 53 laps because of bad weather.
Charles Leclerc took to Twitter on Sunday to share his congratulations with Max Verstappen as the Dutchman sealed the world title.
Formula 1 does not seem to learn as we almost saw a repeat of what happened at the 2014 Japanese Grand Prix in 2022 - in similar conditions. Only this time around, the driver was lucky to have escaped with his life.
You would think that becoming a two-time world champion in F1 would be one of the greatest moments of Max Verstappen’s career.
