So finally the hammer has dropped. Well, sort of.
Red Bull have been found guilty by the FIA of overspending last season. The rumour mill suggested as much, but Christian Horner kept telling us he expected his team to be in compliance with the budget cap rules which were new for the 2021 campaign – even now, the team still believes it is innocent of any wrongdoing.
Official documents, released on Monday afternoon, now allege that was not the case. Of the 10 teams, the Milton Keynes-based outfit was the only one to go over budget – Aston Martin also committed a procedural breach of the rules and Williams were late in filing their submission.
