The FIA have reportedly 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:offered terms to Red Bull after finding them guilty of a minor breac🔯h of the 2021 $145m budge𓂃t.
Red Bull have yet to respond but F1 drivers, ahead of the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:F1 United States Grand Prix, have agreed that the FIA’s punishm🅺ent must be sufficiently damning.
“The rules are the rules,” said Bottas who drove for Mercedes last year when his teammate 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lewis Hamilton lost out on the driver’s title to 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Max Verstappen at the168澳洲5最新开奖结果: 2021 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
“I personally hope it's going to be a strict and harsh penalty because it s♍houldn't happen - the rules are the rules.
“It shouldn't be any different wꦯith the penalty. Let's hope it's a penalty that hurts them.
“I wa෴s in the🏅 fight with them for the constructors' [championship], yes we got that but the driver’s? We lost by a few points.
“A few millions can make a big difference."
Ferrari’s 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Carlos Sainz added: "I think every team and every driver wants clarity a🐓nd fairness🌳.
“We all know how much 1, 2, 3, 4 million can make to car development and speed. That's why, year🍎s ago, the top three were spending $350m and now we spend $145m.
“I just hope if there's a penalty, the penalty is relatively im🌳portant.
“It needs to be fair play for ꦕeveryone. The cost cap is th✃ere to be followed."
168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Sergio Perez offered a defence for his team: "We believe we are iꦬn line and we believe that everything will come up in the right situation.&nb🔥sp;
“I will leave it down to my team to solve that with the FIA. At the end🐼 of the day there are always teams that want to take performance out of you, especially if you are winning, so that's part of the sport."
