Possible violations of the financial regulations, allegedly committed by the two teams, became one of the main topics discussed in the Formula 1 paddock over the Singapore weekend.
Above all, the leaders of Mercedes and Ferrari spoke out about this, openly calling Red Bull Racing and hinting that the team had incurred a cost overrun, significantly exceeding the allowable budget cap, and therefore deserves an equally severe penalty.
This caused real anger in the Red Bull camp and Christian Horner was outraged and assured that all charges were absolute defamation.
The date of October 5 was also mentioned – it was on this day that the FIA should publish the results of an accounting audit, which the federation’s experts began in March.
However, Sky Sports said today, citing multiple sources at once, that the results of this investigation will apparently not be released on Wednesday. But something else is more important: it seems that violations that can be classified as significant are not discussed at all, because only the fact of a “slight overspending” of funds came to light.
London’s Daily Mirror also writes that Milton Keynes’s team will avoid serious sanctions as the budget overrun set will not exceed £1million, although it is rumored to be approaching 10million.
How the further events will develop we’ll soon find out, but according to Sky Sports journalists, the lofty voices everyone has seen in Singapore are nothing more than another episode of the “endless soap opera starring Mercedes and Red Bull”.
