AUSTIN—Red Bull team principal Christian Horner didn’t mince words when addressing the cheating allegations from rivals regarding the team’s cost cap breach.
The FIA announced on Oct. 10 that both Red Bull and Aston Martin breached the cost cap regulations, both in a procedural capacity but Red Bull also had “minor” overspending. The punishment is still to be determined, but several team bosses across the paddock have been outspoken about how there should be stiff penalties.
A “minor overspend” is considered to be any figure less than 5% of last year’s $145 million cap, which is roughly $7.25 million.
