Red Bull was the only team to exceed the budget ceiling for the 2021 season, being sanctioned for this with a fine and a reduction in the time of use of the wind tunnel. Christian Hornerhead of the team, has criticized this system of economic control, describing it as complex and assuring that it must be improved.
“I think it’s a very complicated set of regulations. And, of course, they will evolve”, explains Horner in ‘RacingNews365’. He also assures that the teams receive a lot of pressure for this limit, and that in the future it should be different:” I would like to see Less pressure beyond the limit in the future”.
“The biggest driver of costs is technical and sporting regulations, if we put more emphasis on what those costs are and how those costs are driven by those regulations, less pressure will be exerted on the limit“, Add.
But he believes that it will not be possible to monitor absolutely: “I think that there are things that will inevitably be difficult to police or even questionable as to whether they are legalLike when you question things like salary caps and the like.”
“It’s a process and a learning curve. There are many things in the budget cap that have been positivebut there are areas that can be developed and improved”, he said to close. We will have to wait for the 2023 season to see if the sanctions affect Red Bullalthough everything indicates that they will continue to be the team to beat.
