Red Bull chief Christian Horner insists his team are yet to see the true impact of their penalty for breaking the F1 cost cap in 2021.
Red Bull Racing received a $7 million fine and a 10 percent reduction in wind tunnel time as a penalty for exceeding the $145 million spending limit during Max Verstappen’s championship-winning season. The penalty expired on October 26, allowing Red Bull to resume their full allocation of aerodynamic testing. This is concerning news for their competitors, considering Red Bull’s dominant performance in 2023, where they have defended both world championships and won 17 out of 18 races so far. Red Bull’s penalty was criticized by Ferrari, but team principal Christian Horner believes they haven’t yet felt the full impact of the punishment, as it has limited their development this year. The FIA’s review process for the cost cap was described by Horner as subjecting all teams to a thorough examination. He commended the FIA’s efforts in evolving the regulations and managing the complexity of the cost cap.
