- Verstappen says team has ‘great ideas’ for car next season
- Dutchman will chase 15th win of season in Brazil on Sunday
Max Verstappen has conceded that he expects the punishment for his Red Bull team’s breach of the 2021 budget cap will have a detrimental effect on his chances to defend his world championship next season.
Verstappen, who secured his second title in Japan last month, was speaking in the runup to Sunday’s Brazilian Grand Prix in Sao Paulo at the Autódromo José Carlos Pace. The row over the budget cap had rumbled on across almost a month before being finally concluded at the Mexican GP when Red Bull entered an accepted breach agreement with the FIA acknowledging their breach and accepting their punishment.
