On Friday a problem was discovered that could affect Red Bull and Aston-Martin for allegedly violating the budget ceiling established by F1 for 2021something for which true wolff spoke loudly, saying the alleged violation of Milton Keynes can be the key to the title of Max Verstappen of that time and for creating the car of this course.
seidl clarified that the entry of the budget ceiling forced McLaren to lay off some of its staff and implement pay cuts of equipment so as not to exceed the maximum cost allowed by regulations.
“Even for a group like ours, the introduction of the cost cap meant that we had to implement some serious measures that affected our people. We’ve had to lay people off or ask our people to take pay cuts or pay freezes, which is very serious.”he pointed out, comparing these measures to the “aggressive” migration policy of other competitors.
“At the same time, two teams in particular have been incredibly aggressive in hiring, throwing incredible salaries on the table and offering incredible company benefits packages. Everything We wonder how it will play out in this new world of Formula 1.” he expressed, pulling irony.
“That’s why we just appreciate the clarity on this issue because at the end of the day we will know if maybe we missed something on our side or if there really are infractions and we have a clear explanation why some teams do some things that we just We are not in a position to offer our people”, added Seidl, making the premise clear: “In the end, economic regulations are now as important as sports or technical regulations. There is no difference”. This last sentence is understood as a pressure on the FIA in the face of possible penalties that can be applied to Red Bull and Aston Martin, which is unclear due to the wide and uncertain nature of the regulations. .
“It is very important that, on the part of the FIA, they ensure that they are properly monitored, make them comply with the rules and establish appropriate penalties in case of any violation, even if it is done that affects the results. of championship of the past. “, he claimed.
Red Bull and Aston Martin and their signings
It should be noted that Red Bull had to make a significant investment in the creation of Red Bull Powertrains, a company that would manage its engines after the departure of Honda. Without going any further, Helmt Marko, Red Bull advisor, recently explained: “We have built a facility in Milton Keynes and recruited some of the best talent in the sport. We now have more than 300 employees in one state -of-the-art facility. We tested the first prototype of a complete V6 engine in 2026 before the summer break, and our approach to having the engine and chassis under one roof and on campus with engineers and designers sitting next to the engineers and chassis designers remains absolutely unchanged”.
For its part, the possible violation of Aston Martin seems small, but it is no secret that the Silverstone team has recruited many engineers from Red Bull to create an ambitious project in the future. In this sense, Andreas Seidl, in Singpaur F1 GP, clarified that he had no evidence that these two teams violated the regulations, but he showed his doubts about their skills.
A championship point deduction is one of the possible penalties for exceeding the spending limit. Seidl said Formula 1 should be prepared to change the results of past championships if a team is found to have exceeded the budget limit.
