McLaren’s Zak Brown says “I stand by” Red Bull “cheating” claim - Christian Horner’s defence “didn’t make sense”

Red Bull were found guilty of overspending the 2021 limit, and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen won the 2022 F1 championship amid this scandal.
As Red Bull’s punishment was pondered, Brown wrote to FIA president Mo𓆉hammed Ben Sulayem and F💟1 CEO Stefano Domenicali - he has now refused to apologise despite criticism from Christian Horner.
“I stand by my letter,” said B🃏rown😼. “When you break the rules, whether it's technical and financial, there are many different ways to characterise it.
“I know [that ‘cheating’] is such a strong word, but I don't see any difference between breaking t🔜he financial cap versus having too low of a ride height, or whatever the case may be.
“If it's something within the sporting, financial, or technical regulations, a breach of the𒊎 rules, I guess you could call it a couple of different things. Some people in a more simplistic manner would call it that.”

Red Bull reportedly overspent on freღe lunch for their staff, among other things, before Horner criticised his rival team principals for demanding a harsh punishment in an awkward press conference as he opposite Brow🉐n.
“I thought there w🌸ere things that didn't make sense,” Brown said about Horner’s ꦆdefence.
“We all have to take care of our employees. We have our employees coming to us saying this team does this, this team does this on per diems, th🌊is team does this on food, this team does this on hotel♍s. That then puts you in a competitive position when you are hiring and retaining.
“So I think to kind of single out 'th꧟is is where we spend more money’ then you're spending less money somewhere else.
“I think it all✱ goes into performance. I dꦐon't think you can kind of have isolated selected elements and say it was this part that was out of the cap.”
