FIA chief Mohammed ben Sulayem dismissed any suggestion of bias from colleagues over the investigation into Red Bull's cost cap breach.
The team went over budget during the 2021 season – the first year in which the regulations were enforced. It became a significant talking point for a few weeks late in this campaign, as their overspend was revealed and subsequently punished.
Red Bull were fined £6m and had 10% of their wind tunnel testing time over the next year taken away from them. The involvement of Shaila-Ann Rao in that process proved to be controversial in more ways than one.
