Next Wednesday, the FIA will make a statement on the results of the teams’ financial audit following the 2021 results. There is no official information yet, but there are rumors that Red Bull Racing has seriously exceeded the budget cap. has made, and Aston Martin – very little.
Ferrari sporting director Laurent Mekis urged the FIA to apply the strictest sanctions against financial rule violators.
Laurent Mekis: “It is no longer a secret that two teams exceeded the budget cap in 2021, one by a significant amount, the other by a smaller amount. We consider this a very serious violation of the rules and we await appropriate action from the FIA.
We have full confidence in the FIA. In recent weeks and months they have taken a very strong stance on other issues. We are now waiting for the same approach – in such a serious problem there should be full transparency and maximum penalties so that everyone can be sure that we are fighting within the same rules as this seriously affects the performance of cars.
It is extremely important to demonstrate the FIA’s ability to identify cost overruns – this will once again remind everyone of the need to abide by the rules. As I said, we expect maximum accuracy and transparency.
We understand that it can be challenging for fans to judge the results of previous years, but we need to have full confidence that the rules are followed and real sanctions will follow in case of violations.”
