Peanuts of a penalty to a company the size of Red Bull. Financial incompetence or cheating ? Difficult to see a 3rd alternative. The sooner the FIA actually reviews the rules, makes them unambiguous & defines & enforces consistent penalties the better.

I am sure that Mercedes and Ferrari are willing to pay the price if they get such punishment. The fia had a chance to be extremely tough to make an example of red bull but chose other wise. This will come back to hunt them in the future for sure. Cheers

Cheating is a criminal offence. RedBull cheated and got a pass from FIA

Congratulations @fia, this verdict will lead red bull, ferrari, mercedes, and potentially mclaren & alpine to exceed next year's cost cap, if they're not suddenly increasing this year's budget over the cap

BREAKING - Red Bull have been hit with a $7m (£6.07m) fine and a 10% reduction in permitted aerodynamic research for breaking Formula 1’s budget cap. F1’s governing body the FIA said that Red Bull had overspent by £1.86m in 2021, when Max Verstappen won his first title.

Even a team like Aston Martin can pay a 7 million dollar fine without nothing happening to the team, so the penalty given to Red Bull is equivalent to no penalty. This further raises doubts about FIA's sporting integrity.

So it’s taken the FIA all those weeks to come up with that “penalty”. Maybe they had to ask Redbull if it was acceptable 🤷‍♂️

FIA you again have demonstrated you don’t follow your own rules and a common denominator is Red Bull. Ross Braun has been made a laughing stock after his statement when the cost cap was introduced. I urge all teams to ignore the cost.

RedBull Racing are cheats and Verstappen is a fake champion. The FiA is a joke.
