George Russell proposes alternative punishment if Red Bull are guilty of cost cap breach

George Russell and Charles Leclerc demanded punishment for any teams found guilty of breaking Formula 1 cost cap rules – but both stopped short of calling for points deductions.

The FIA was due to reveal on Wednesday whether or not the 10 teams had complied with budget restrictions in the 2021 season. But the announcement was delayed until next week, which only served to further fuel rumours that at least one of the teams overspent.

Red Bull are the ones who are at the centre of that speculation, though Christian Horner said last weekend he was "absolutely confident" the team came in under budget. Aston Martin, the other team named in a supposed leak, also said they don't believe they have done "anything majorly wrong".
