When it comes to Red Bull's fine though, Jacques Villeneuve believes sharing is caring. F1
‘Red Bull overspend wasn’t cheating, teams lying about traction control is’Jacques Villeneuve doesn’t believe Red Bull’s overspend in 2021 constitutes “cheating”, saying that word should be reserved for teams “lying about traction control”.
Rivals still called for harsh sanctions, Red Bull hit with a $7m fine while also losing 10 per cent of 2023’s development time.column, Villeneuve said: “In Mexico, of course, it was also about Cashgate, although it will not damage the sport. When McLaren got that mega fine of 100 million, that didn’t happen either.
Back in 1994 Michael Schumacher’s rivals believed his Benetton team was running illegal traction control as Schumacher raced to his first World title.Villeneuve like many others wants to know what happens to that $7m that’s now in the FIA’s bank account, or at least will be within 30 days of the ABA being signed.
“If we spent 300,000 on a new floor, or adapted a wing, it would have changed the outcome of the championship naturally because we would have been in better competition in the next race if you add it on,” he said.
