Il budget theme chap continues to be the main topic of this last part of the season. There FIA is increasingly in the vortex for the Red Bull case, of which we will know more this week, and in the meantime proceeds quickly towards a new agreement with another team.
Budget cap, two teams guilty
As is well known, in the communique that the Federation issued two weeks ago on the budget cap case two teams did not respect the regulation. We talk about Red Bull, which has breached the maximum spending limit for 2021, and Aston Martin. Ecosystem's staff is team of Stroll, according to what was stated by the FIA, did not go over budget, but made procedural errors, how did the Williams(heavily fined by the Federation).
Aston Martin, the agreement with the FIA is ready
Based on what filters into the paddock, as well as the negotiation Red Bull-FIA seems to come to a conclusion, even Aston Martin is close to a plea bargain. The team principal himself confirms these rumors Mike Krack who told Motorsport.com.
"We are in discussions with the FIA - he has declared - I think that's going to be something we'll try to wrap up over the next few days. We also had discussions with them over the weekend. And I'm pretty confident we'll sort this out soon. I think it's complex, it's a complex set of regulations and it's not frustrating, it shows us that we have to do a better job in the future to avoid having these problems. But in the end, I think the most important thing is that we've been below the cap. And the rest is a matter of procedure”.
Announcement soon?
It remains only to understand when the announcement comes, but in that regard, Krack knows it's not up to him.
“It depends on the FIA. And now there's a lot of people on the road, but I think we took a couple of steps forward this weekend. So I think we're not far off. But I can't tell you if it will be tomorrow or later."
