McLaren boss accuses Red Bull of 'cheating' in letter to FIA over cost cap breach

McLaren boss Zak Brown has taken aim at Red Bull by reportedly accusing them of cheating in their breach of the budget cap. Last week, the FIA revealed Christian Horner and co were found guilty of a "minor" budget cap breach and the American has called for penalties that will hit Red Bull financially and on the track.

The 50-year-old wrote a letter to FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem, which was also seen by F1 president Stefano Domenicali, to make his feelings known and demanded heavy punishment. "Any team who have overspent have gained an unfair advantage both in the current and following year's car development," Brown wrote, reports the BBC.

He added the FIA should "communicate subsequent action and penalties at pace to maintain the integrity of F1". Red Bull were found guilty of a "minor" breach of the cap, as well as a procedural breach, the latter of which Aston Martin was also found guilty.
