- Red Bull fined $7m and given a cut of 10% in aerodynamic testing
- FIA found Red Bull exceeded £114m budget cap by £1.86m in 2021
The FIA’s penalty for Red Bull breaching the 2021 budget cap was dismissed as insufficient by rival teams before qualifying for the Mexican Grand Prix. Red Bull described their penalty for exceeding the cap as “draconian” but representatives from Mercedes and Ferrari have firmly rejected this, stating that the impact on the team will likely be minimal.
On Friday Red Bull were given a $7m (£6.05m) fine and a 10% reduction in aerodynamic testing for breaching the 2021 cost cap. The fine is not part of a reduction in a future budget cap. The FIA adjudged they had exceeded the £114m limit by £1.86m and Red Bull accepted an agreed breach agreement with the governing body, admitting culpability and accepting the penalty.
