The hottest topic of the last few weeks is getting more and more alive. There Red Bull-budget cap issue continues to give twists, with the paddock getting hotter and hotter.
Red Bull announces a press conference
As everyone knows by now, the FIA announced a few weeks ago that Red Bull did not respect last season's budget cap, in which Max Verstappen he became world champion. According to the Federation's investigation, the Milton Keynes team would have overstepped the ceiling of 145 million dollars without, however, exceeding the 5% threshold. The precise figure for the overrun is not yet known and it is not excluded that Red Bull may announce it today at a press conference. In fact, based on what filters, a conference is scheduled for today by Christian Horner to explain his team's position on the matter.
Budget cap: the FIA proposes a loophole for Red Bull
However, some great, sensational news is coming from the Austin paddock. According to the latest indeed the FIA sent its offer to Red Bull regarding the sanction to be applied for the infringement committed. Till today, the hypothesis of the plea deal seems to be more and more real. We will see if in the end these news will be confirmed and what will be the position taken by the Austrian team which, at least to date, has not confirmed yet to have breached the budget cap. We expect a very busy weekend in Austin starting tonight. The fate of the budget cap is decided but above all credibility of Federation which wobbles more and more.
