Red Bull was fined for breaking Formula 1's budget cap.
Red Bull was fined $7 million and cut aerodynamic research by 10% after breaching the F1 cap in 2021.
The real effect of the penalty on Red Bull is very limited.
The penalty was described as "draconian".
The aerodynamic reduction on Red Bull's car will come in from now and will be in place for a year, according to the team's boss.
If Red Bull had applied the correct treatment to the tax credit, the team would have exceeded the cap by less than half a million dollars. The overspend was reduced from 1.6% to 0.37%).
Mekies wondered if the net impact of the penalty was assessed correctly.
In an interview with Sky Sports Italia, he said that overspending can have a real impact on the outcome of the races.
The penalty is not something we are happy with. The first is that we don't know how the reduction of the ATA can correspond to the same amount of lap time.
Since there is no budget cap reduction in the penalty, the basic effect is to push the competitor to spend the money somewhere else.
It has total freedom to use the money it can no longer spend on use of the wind tunnel because of the 10% reduction on reducing the weight of the car or who knows what else.
The real effect of the penalty is very limited due to the combination of these two factors.
Wolff said that it was good to see that there was a penalty.
Wolff said that a sporting penalty and financial fine is not the only damage done to a person's reputation.
It's not on anymore in a world of good governance.
Zak Brown, the chief executive officer of McLaren Racing, said on Friday that the sanctions should be stronger in the future.
A 10% overspend reduction is "drastic", that's worth potentially quarter to half a second of a season's development, has an impact on our performance next year and makes our challenge even greater as we head", said Red Bull Racing team principal Christian Horner in an interview with Next year's car will be affected by it.
The actual value of the penalty is uneducated by anyone who reduces it.
The lost time was an enormous handicap, he said.
The money was not spent on making the car go faster.
He said that the FIA stood by their budget cap.
Draw a line under it and take the hit. We have to work harder and smarter in the winter, which is our primary development time.
Max Verstappen won the title in controversial circumstances at the final race of the season, but he was not stripped of it.
He said that they felt like they had been chastised enough. The public's slating of us through mud being slung by some of our competitors is too much.
The focus is now on the Mexican Grand Prix and trying to finish the season off in a high fashion.
Verstappen's first title was won after the race director wrongly applied the rules in the final race of the season and in a year in which his team broke the rules on spending.
"No, absolutely not." One of the most titanic battles in F1 history took place last year. Verstappen deserved the title. He did the job, he won the race at the final Grand Prix of the year and 2021.
At the end of the day, people will pick a narrative. Max did not do anything wrong last year. He won the race fair and square, as a team we performed out of our skin to break the domination of one team that has dominated in the last seven years, nothing can diminish from what he did last year.
