The punishment handed down to Red Bull for their overspend during the 2021 Formula 1 season is not something over which Max Verstappen loses too much sleep.
Red Bull were found to have committed a "minor" breach of the financial rules in the first year they were enforced. Last October, the FIA slapped them with a £6m fine and a 10% reduction in the amount of wind tunnel testing time they are allowed to do.
The fine, while not insignificant, is hardly going to break the bank for Red Bull. But the sporting penalty will have more of an impact as it directly limits how much work they can do to develop their cars in a 12-month period.
