Best New Driver In Red Bull Is Comfirmed Dead
There was quite a stir surrounding Red Bull last season after the Milton Keynes-based outfit was found to have breached the budget cap in 2021.
With that breach influencing a year in which Max Verstappen narrowly beat Lewis Hamilton to the title in a controversial title battle, rivals demanded an explanation.
But there was displeasure with the penalty that was subsequently handed out to Red Bull: a $7 million fine and a restriction on car development.
Starting on October 26 last year, a 365-day period where the team’s ATR was reduced by 10 per cent was imposed on top of the 30 per cent reduction already given by the sliding scale testing regulations aimed at keeping F1 a level playing field.
The penalty has seemingly left Red Bull unaffected with Verstappen utterly dominant this term, securing 15 of the 18 races held en route to a third consecutive title. The team has also already wrapped up the Constructors’ championship.
