Max Verstappen 2021 title fate decided as FIA finally reveal Red Bull cost cap punishment

Max Verstappen's maiden Formula 1 world title is safe after the FIA decided against docking points as punishment for Red Bull breaching cost cap rules.

F1's governing body accused the team of a "minor" overspend during the 2021 season. Red Bull initially denied this, but it later became clear that there had been a mix-up over whether or not some specific details would or would not be included in the budget cap.

Red Bull and the FIA have come to an 'accepted breach agreement' over the issue, which sees the team take responsibility for breaking the rules and accept a punishment. They will be forced to pay a hefty fine of £6m as a result, with a sporting penalty on top.
