Red Bull were hit with a $7 million fine and 10 per cent reduction in aerodynamic testing time for their minor breach of the168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: cost cap.

Many rivals felt the punishment was too light an⛄d it would set a dangerous pre♑cedent in future financial years.

Giving his view on it to Gazzetta Dello Sport, V♊asseur beliꦅeves the penalty should be a sporting one, not a fine.

"A penalty like last year really isn't severe,” he said. “If it shoul🐈d be necessary again, such a penalty should be much heavier.

"You have to keep in mind that a technical advantage will translate into a sporting advantage. Therefore, the𝓡 penalty should be sporting and not a fine.  “In soccer, if you use a hand, it's a penalty... they don't give you a [non-sporting] penalty. 

“The deduction of 10 𒈔per cent wind tunnel time is a big joke. They have already done most of the work by then.

Vasse🍨ur explained why Red Bull’s overspend wasn’t as minor as some made out.

“A 5 per cent violation i🌞s not small, it is big," Vasseur added. If you have a budget of $135 million, $80 million of that already goes to personnel, another $20 million to race costs, materials, brakes a💦nd so on. 

“Making four chassis at the beginning of the season also costs about $20 million. Then you already arrive at about $120-1ꦕ25 million. Thi🅰s is about the same for everyone.

“That leaves about $10 million to develop. If you go a few million over your budget, then you should not look at the total $135 million, as has been said. We should collectively not shove this under the rug, because th♚en you risk it being discussed at the table.

“There is a big difference between an innocent m𝔍istake or a choice. A bit like someone making a mistake on their tax return, versus a company arranging something to avoid taxes 𓃲in a tax haven. We have to be tough: this is about the future of the budget cap.

“Otherwise, everyone is going to do the same tꦉhing. Then you free up budget to pay the penalty and say amen. The big constructors can afford all this.”
