There is an unusually uneasy atmosphere in the paddock in Austin ahead of this weekend's United States Grand Prix.
The Formula 1 circus has pitched its tent in Texas for the race's 10th year, and usually the build up would focus on what action we may get on what is widely considered to be one of the best modern tracks the sport has to offer. But even Daniel Ricciardo arriving atop a steed named Horsy McHorse could not distract from the uglier talking point that is dominating all discussions.
Red Bull are accused of breaching cost cap rules for the 2021 season and are set to discuss the issue for the first time since that was announced this weekend. The FIA has thus far resisted calls to reveal how much the team apparently overspent by, leaving fans in the dark about how and where they broke the rules.
