The four reasons Red Bull reportedly broke the F1 cost cap

  • Staff gardening leave and sick pay

  • Catering costs

  • Spare parts

  • Tax

The report says that Red Bull’s staff gardening leave costs reღfer to Dan Fallows, their former head of aerodynamics w♏ho left in mid-2021 to join Aston Martin.

A cost of $800k regarding Fallows was not factored into Red Bull’s costs but has been included in the FIA’s i𓆉nvestigations, it is reported.

Adrian Newey’s salary is not an issue, despite previous unrelated reports. He is exempt from the cost cap because he is among t𒐪he three highest-earners at Red Bull.

A further $1.2m was spent on catering.

A June 2022 rule change regarding how t🗹o carry over the cost of spare parts from the 202♍1 season is another part of Red Bull’s overspend, it is reported.

A tax issue is tꦺhe 𒁃final reason for the overspend - but RacingNews365 reports that if Red Bull are able to prove that they expect a rebate from HMRC, the FIA will be “lenient”.
