Formula 1: FIA delays probe into alleged budget cap violations

Firstpost  

Red Bull team principal Christian Horner last weekend angrily hit back at what he called “fictitious claims” that the team had gone above its budget, which could be punishable by a ban. Formula One’s governing body has delayed publishing the findings of an investigation into whether teams broke the budget cap last season, saying its verdict will come next week. F1 set a budget cap of $145 million last year, when Red Bull driver Max Verstappen narrowly won his first world title after beating Lewis Hamilton in a controversial finish to the last race. “As previously communicated, there has been significant and unsubstantiated speculation and conjecture in relation to this matter, and the FIA reiterates that until it is finalized, no further information will be provided.” Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff has demanded that governing body FIA take action if Red Bull or other teams have broken the rules, while Ferrari also complained.
