The FIA have found Red Bull guilty of overspending last year by a maximum of five💃 percent ($7.25m) above the $145m limit.

Reportedly that breach was due to staff issues at the team’s Milton Keynes headquarters including “168澳洲5最新开奖结果:free lunch”.

Mercedes F1 team principal Wolff has said about the rule-break: “Is it a so-called minor breach,🐻 because I think the word is probably not correct?

“If you’re spending $5m more, and you’re still in the minor brღeach, it still has a big impact on the championship.

“T💟o give you an idea, we obviously monitor closely which par🌼ts are being brought to the track from the top teams every single race – for the 2021 season and the 2022 season.

“We can see that there are two tꦬop teams that are just about the same and there is another teꦑam that spends more.

“We know exactly that we’re spending – $3.5m a yea𝕴r in parts that we bring to the car. So then you can see what difference it makes to spend another $500,000.

“It would be a difference.”

Wolff explains how staying within the cost cap has prevented Mercedes from bringing their desired upgrades to th💛e W13: “We haven’t produced✃ lightweight parts for the car in order to bring us down from a double-digit overweight because we simply haven’t got the money. So we need to do it for next year’s car.

“We can’t homologate a lightweight chassis and bring it in, because it’s just $2m that we will be over the cap. So you can see ev𝓡ery sp🌊end more has a performance advantage.”

The FIA are yet to decide Red Bull’s punishment.

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lewis Hamilton has previously explained how seemingly small expenditures above the budget can have a crucial i⛎mpact𒉰 on race results.

“If we had if we spent $300,000 on a new floor 𒊎or an adapted wing it would have changed the outcome of the championship,” Ham𓆏ilton said.

He missed out on an all-time record eighth title at the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:2021 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix when 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Max Verstappen infamously pipped him.
