While the FIA has classified Red Bull's cost cap breach as 'minor', the team's F1 rivals see it as anything but, and the sanctions could have a significant impact on the future of the sport. Explained:
last year as enough to allow it to bring a new floor design, which would have lifted the pace of his car to potentially change the outcome of the title chase.
"We can see that there are two top teams that are just about the same and there is another team that spends more. So we know exactly that we're spending three and a half million a year in parts that we bring to the car. And then you can see what difference it makes to spend another 500,000 - it would be a difference.
Ferrari has said nothing publicly since the FIA's statement on Red Bull's breach, but it is understood the team's stance remains unchanged, and that it wants financial breaches to be treated as strictly as technical infringements where cars are disqualified if parts a few millimetres out. Or has there been some deliberate attempt to fudge paperwork, block investigations and deliberately find ways around the cost cap to ensure that Red Bull can spend more on car development than its rivals?
