There are growing suspicions in the F1 paddock that Red Bull and Aston Martin 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:exceeded last♏ y൩ear’s $145m cost cap that was introduced with the aim of improving sustainability and leꦺvelling the playing field. 

F1’s governing body the FIA is set to issue certificates of compliance with the 2021 financial🦄 regulations next week before the Japanese Gran🃏d Prix and said any violation of the budget cap would be “dealt with”. 

Red Bull team principal Christian Horner insisted he is 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:“not aware” of any potential breach and expressed confidence in his♕ team’s submission. 

It marks the latest storm facing F1 after the credibility of the world champ𒊎ionship was called into question following the controversial end to last 🎉season. 

A mishandled Safety Car period altered the outcome of the 2021 championship and enabled 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen to overtake 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton to clinc♛h his maiden world title on the last lap of the Abu Dhabi finale, leaving Mercedes aggrieved.&nཧbsp;

Mercedes team prꦗincipal Wolff has called on new FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem to take a firm stance on any breach of the spending limit. 

"The cost cap is probably the most important evolution of regulations to keep a level playing field to allow teams t🐭hat haven't got the full b♋udget to catch up and to put a ceiling on the spending of the top teams,” Wolff told BBC Sport. 

"It is of huge impo💫rtance for a demonstration that these regulations are policed and I have no 🌠reason to believe otherwise.

"The FIA, particularly Mohammed, has shown a pretty robust stance on enforcing all kinds of regulations. So if we are talking now about something big, he will show the same integrity and leadership෴ that he has done before.”

In his first press conference since tak🌼ing office, Ben Sulayem said "if there is any breach, there is no forgiveness in this” in relation to Hamilton’s no-show at the FIA’s end-of-season prize-giving gala in Paris last December.
