- Zak Brown calls for financial and sporting penalties in letter
- ‘The overspend breach … constitutes cheating’
The McLaren team principal, Zak Brown, has demanded the FIA imposes serious sporting and financial punishments on Red Bull for their breach of Formula One’s budget cap. In a letter to the sport’s governing body Brown insisted there should be hard-hitting action against what he described as “cheating”.
Brown wrote to the president of the FIA, Mohammed ben Sulayem, and to the F1 chief executive, Stefano Domenicali. The letter was also then circulated to the other teams who have not been found to be in breach of the cap.
