According to former Formula 1 patron Ecclestone, things could get worse for Red Bull due to budget cap violation

Red Bull could pay dearly for the budget cap violation detected by the Fia for the 2021 World Championship. The Federation in recent days found eight Formula 1 teams eligible, which complied with the limit set at 145 million euros for last season, and instead rejected Red Bull and Aston Martin, noting some fractions.

Above all, the Austrian stable was found guilty of a minor breach of the spending cap, which could lead to penalties this or last season. Asked about the subject, former circus patron Bernie Ecclestone was drastic: “Is Red Bull in danger of losing points in the 2021 championships? It will be worse,” are the words to Blick warning Max Verstappen’s fans.

It was Sebastian Vettel who was the first driver to win a world championship with Red Bull. The German put everyone in line for four years in a row, from 2010 to 2013. The Austrian stable returned to success in 2021 thanks to Dutchman Max Verstappen, with the son of art repeating the following year. If there was a battle to the last in 2021, that was not the case in 2022.
