Angry Horner slams claims Red Bull broke F1 budget cap

Red Bull team principal Christian Horner angrily hit back Saturday at “fictitious claims” by rivals that his team breached Formula One’s budget cap last year and said he is considering legal action if they are not withdrawn. “The submissions between the team and the FIA is confidential, and I have no idea what the outcome of our rivals’ submission is so I would be intrigued to know where their source of information for these fictitious claims has come from.” Horner called the claims “hugely defamatory” and claimed their timing is linked to Verstappen being on the verge of clinching his second straight world title. “The FIA notes significant and unsubstantiated speculation and conjecture in relation to this matter, and reiterates that the assessment is ongoing and due process will be followed without consideration to any external discussion.” Horner said his team is prepared to take legal action if the allegations made against Red Bull are not withdrawn. “It’s now no secret that two teams broke the 2021 budget cap regulations, one by a significant amount, the other less so,” Ferrari’s race director Laurent Mekies told Sky Italia.
