Valtteri Bottas calls for “strict and harsh” penalty as drivers rebel against Red Bull’s breach of cost cap
The FIA have reportedly 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:offered terms to Red Bull after finding them guilty of a🃏 minor breach of the 2021 $145m bꦺudget.
Red Bull have yet to respond but F1 drivers, ahead of the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:F1 United States Grand Prix, have agreed that the FIA’s p💟unishment must be sufficiently damning.
“The rules are the rules,” said Bottas who drove for Mercedes last year when his teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton lost out on the driver’s title to 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen at the168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: 2021 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
“I personally hope it's going to ওbe a strict and harsh penalty because it shouldn't happen♏ - the rules are the rules.
“It shouldn't be any different with the penꦛalty. Let's hope it's a penalty that hurts them.
“I was in the fight with them for tꦰhe constructors' [championship], yes we got that but the driver’s? We lost by a few points.🍨
“A few millions can make a big difference."
Ferrari’s 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Carlos Sainz added: "I think every team 🐲and every driver wants clarity and fairness.
“We all know how much 1, 2, 3, 4 million can make to car development and speed. That's why, 𝕴years ago, the top three were spending $350m and now we spend $145m.
ꦚ“I just hope if there's a penalty, the penalty is relatively important.
“It needs to be fair play for everyone. The cost cap is there to be followedও."
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sergio Perez offered a defenc🤪e for his team: "We believe we are in line and we believe that everything will come up in the right situation.
“I will leave it down to my team to solve that with 🐎the FIA. At the end of the day there are always teams that want to take performance out of you, especially if you are winning🌼, so that's part of the sport."
