Horner: Red Bull employees' kids being bullied over F1 cost cap allegations

• Horner claims breach was "a couple of hundred thousand dollars" and was due to "interpretation".
• Horner claims Red Bull did not have an advantage on-track due to the cost cap issue.
• Brown's complaint to FIA was "appalling", says Horner
• Red Bull remain in talks with FIA to resolve the issue.

“There is a concerted campaign for a draconian penalty for Red Bull [over] a couple of hundred thousand do🐻llars.”

“We have been subjected to three weeks of abuse.

“It’s just not right. It has to stop.”

"I have cꦦonfidence tꦯhat there will be transparency."

“I can’t tell you that! Confidential.

“Once concluded there will be transparency and I will talk🐼 you through our submiꦍssions and the position we had.”

"This could be dragged out for months whicജh is 🌟not our intention. We want closure.

“It is in the inter𒁃ests of everybody, the sport, to get this resolved as quickly as possible. There are many lessons that can be learned.”

“The cap is a rule, no 𓂃more than th❀e technical rules.

“My letter said: ‘If someone has…’

“No different if a ride-height is incorrect.

“It didn’t mention any🍨 teams. It was a general response.

“‘If someone breaches the cost cap, here 💮are what we think the ramificatio𝓀ns should be’.”

“It is tremend💝ously disappointing for a comp▨etitor to accuse you of cheating and fraudulent.

“For a competitor, without the details, to accuse ♑yo🐽u of that?

“We’ve been 🤡on ๊trial since Singapore. The rhetoric of cheats.

“The numbers in the media are miles a❀way from rea༒lity.

“The da𓆏mage this done to t♍he brand, our drivers, our workforce? In an age where mental health is prevalence?

“We see kids bu🉐lli🦋ed in playgrounds who are kids of our employees.

“You cannot make these allegatio🃏ns without fact or substance.

“We are appalled at the beh😼aviour of some of our competitors.”

“Absolutely not. What are the relevant costs within the cap - this is where the interpretation come♓s from.

“Our view is that our releva🍃nt costs come within the cap.

“We are in talks with the FIA over mitigatiꦐng circuꦏmstances.

“We had zero benefit from an op𒁏erational perspect⛄ive. 

“Our submission was below the cap. We expect things✱ to be challenged o𝄹r clarified.

“Based on third-party accounting, the interpretation of the 52-page dওocument was clear from our side.

“We absolutely do not feel that we had any advantage in 2021 or 💧2022. It is totally fictit🀅ious.”

“We made an interim submission in 2021♐🌟 - there was no feedback that we were doing anything that was contrary to regulations.

“The submission in March, we didn’t bac🍷k from until September which is significant time.

“There is a duty in FIA regulations to guide, to have effective 🥀compliance.”

“Because all the teams have opinions. Some speak, others do not bring forward t🦩heir views.

“I thought it was important for transparency.

“There are 🤡times we speak openly and ti♌mes there is back-channelling.

“We never spoke about the potential con𝓀sequences. Like all the teams do, we sugges💧ted some solutions for the FIA.

“It is very important for the future of th🐎e sport. It is complicated and new.

“None of us know any details.🌠 We need to wait for the FIA and Red Bull to conclude.”

“We are in a process with the FIA. We 𝓰hope to get closure on that. At👍 that point, all facts will be laid on the table and we can talk openly about the cap, and about why we feel our costs were fully in line.

“They are diligently trying to do𒁃 their job. Hopefully in the near future we will have a resolution.

“It𝓡 is a new process. Remember, with these regulations, they were introduced at a level of $170m reduced by $30m in the pandemic. They are complicated regulations. 2021 was the first-ever year of a se♔t of complicated financial regulations that have varying interpretations.

“I hope we can conclude this in the near future.”

"If we are able to convert this it will be an outstanding achieveme🎃nt for the team. If you believe in something, anything is possible. There were times that it looked like there was no hope of challenging the dominance of recent years but we have turned it around."

"We need an American driver, and a succ𝓡essful one. Not just Brad Pitt!

"We will see more American talent emerging."

"The su👍perlicense is another topic that we need t💝o look at..."

"On the condition that he gets enough superl💜icenc🌳e points he will become our second driver next year."

Christian Horner is arriving now...

• Horner will address Red Bull's guilt of breaking the F1 cost cap for the first time.
• Brown, who wrote a letter to the FIA complaining about Red Bull, will sit beside Horner.
• Has a resolution to this saga been found yet?

The FIA have offered Red Bull an Accepted Breach 🐎Agreement.

• Red Bull could accept it, and accept that they broke rules.
• Or they can contest it.

Red🐠 Bull and the FIA ar🧸e no closer to resolving the issue after a meeting on Friday.

Ferrari team principal Mattia Binotto is unwell 🔥so not at the track today, and therefore not in the press conference at 5.ꦏ30 UK.

Jost Capito will replace him.

But all✃ eyes ๊will be on Christian Horner vs Zak Brown!

• Staff gardening leave and sick pay

• Catering costs

• Spare parts

• Tax

A breakdown of how ༒Red Bull reportedly went from $4m within the cost cap to $1.8♏m above it.

The McLaren CEO 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:wrote a letter to the FIA complaining about Red Bull’s breach.

"The overspend breach, and possibly the procedural breaches, constitute cheating by offering a significant advantage across technical, sporting an🍎d financial regulations,” an extract from the letter read.

“🌃Is it a so-called minor breach, because I think the word is probably not cor🃏rect?

“If y🃏ou’re𓆏 spending $5m more, and you’re still in the minor breach, it still has a big impact on the championship.

“To give you an idea, we obviously monitor closely which parts are being brought to the track from the top teams every sing🤪le race – for the 20ꦍ21 season and the 2022 season.

“We can see that there are two top teams that are just about the sa𝐆me and there is another team that spends more.

“We know exactly that we’re spending – $3.5m a ඣyear in parts that we bring to the car. So then you can see what difference it makes to spend another $500,000.”

"It's happened in the past for me. I would sꦺay I'd movꦬed on from last year, and of course this popping up at this point in the season definitely brings up emotion for many people, the fans, for everyone.

"For how it went down at the end of last year and then on top of that, this happened.𝓀”
