Chindie Posted October 28, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted October 28, 2022 Their punishment is laughable. $7m fine and they're instructed to reduce the time they research aerodynamics by 10%. Which is.. like... what?! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farlz Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 The 10% is pretty significant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, the money overspent contributed to this year's car too. I'm sure the whole field would be a lot closer is they too have overspent like red bull have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 I’d love to see total spend by all teams. Stuff inside and outside of the cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimzk5 Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 Horner was asked if he felt the team needed to apologise to the rest of the grid for the overspend He said he expects teams to apologise to red bull instead for accusing them of cheating. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that a joke or for real? They have literally signed a agreement admitting they cheated. Well.....I suppose technically they signed a document admitting they overspent, maybe they don't see that as cheating, it's just a £1.8m overspend on sandwiches after all........

foreveryoung Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 What a joker, 2 world Championships with Max and both times failed to be 100% genuine. The Redbull car won easily this season because of the overspend and research in the aerodynamics, an we know who does the aero on that car, the genius that is Adrian Newey. They have got away with it yet again, if not for the overspend, you could as good as say it would have been a even field. There is a rumour that the FIA knew about this at the start of the season, but worked out a deal early on. Did they owe Redbull for last seasons **** up?

HKP90 Posted October 29, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted October 29, 2022 The problem with formula 1 at the moment is that with Drive to Survive, and all the other off field antics, RBR have been set up as antagonists (well they set themselves up as antagonists really by being bellends), but on TV the baddies aren't supposed to win.

But they also needed to win a genuine world Championship, which has back fired yet again. How easily they have won it this season, should be bringing a far bigger penalty, i.e financially and a points penalty. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As we've seen with FFP, sporting regulators have real problems confronting powerful sports teams, to the detriment of the sport. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
