Christian Horner fires dig at Red Bull rivals with "politics" remark over off-track drama

Red Bull principal Christian Horner has fired a dig at the team's rivals claiming his constructor is not a 'political organisation' but pushes the racing limits.

While Max Verstappen dominated this year's F1 world championship Red Bull had their critics off the track due to breaching the cost cap set the previous year. The cap was introduced in a bid to level the playing field between teams with vastly different budgets.

Red Bull boss Helmut Marko said that there was 'a lot of politics' involved as the FIA handed them a 'draconian penalty'. After being found to have breached the cost cap by £1.8million Red Bull received a £6m fine and 10% reduction in wind tunnel time for next season.
