Red Bull boss Christian Horner has responded to claims that his team breached their budget cap for the 2021 Formula 1 season. Both Red Bull and Aston Martin were rumoured to have exceeded the cap, and, if found guilty, they will both be handed penalties.
Budget caps were introduced last year by F1 bosses, with a £122 million limit imposed - with extra available for sprint races and if the season exceeds 21 races. 2021 was a breakthrough year for Red Bull, securing their first drivers' title in eight years thanks to Max Verstappen.
Verstappen's championship triumph in theory though could well be under threat, if the claims regarding Red Bull's breach are true and severe enough to warrant punishment.
