Horner: Red Bull employees' kids being bullied over F1 cost cap allegations

• Horner claims breach was "a couple of hundred thousand dollars" and was due to "interpretation".
• Horner claims Red Bull did not have an advantage on-track due to the cost cap issue.
• Brown's complaint to FIA was "appalling", says Horner
• Red Bull remain in talks with FIA to resolve the issue.

“🥀There is a concerted🦂 campaign for a draconian penalty for Red Bull [over] a couple of hundred thousand dollars.”

“We have been subjected to three weeks of abuse.

“It’s just not right. It has to stop.”

"I have confidence that there wiཧll be transparency."

“I can’t tell you that! Confidential.

“Once concluded there will be transparency a𒊎nd I will talk you through our submissions and the position we had🏅.”

"This could be 🃏dragged out for months which is not our intention. We want closure.

“It is in the interests of everybody, the sport, to get this resolved as quickly as⛎ possible. There are ma🗹ny lessons that can be learned.”

“The cap is a🔯 rule, no more than the techꦡnical rules.

“My letter said: ‘If someone has…’

“No different if a ride-height is incorrect.

“It ♒didn’t 💟mention any teams. It was a general response.

“‘If someone breaches the cost cap, here are what we ﷽think the ra🥃mifications should be’.”

“It is tremendously disappointing for a competitor to accuse you of cheating and fraudulen🌃t.

“For a competitor, without the d𝔉etails, to acc🎶use you of that?

“We’ve been on trial since Singa𒁃pore. The rhetoric of cheats.

“The numbers i๊n the media are mi𝕴les away from reality.

“The 🥂damage this done to the brand, our drivers, our workforce? In an age where mental health is prevalence?

“We see kids bullied in playgrounds who are kids of💧 our employees.

“You cannot make th💦esꦡe allegations without fact or substance.

“We are appalled at the beha♚viour of some of our competito♓rs.”

“Absolutely not. Wha♈t are the relevant costs within the cap - this is where the interpretation comes from.

“Our view is that our relevant costs cℱome within the cap.

“We are ꧋in talks with the FIA over mitigating circumstances.

“We had zero benefit from an operational perspective.✨ 

“Our submission was below the cap. We expect things to be challenged or clariꩵfied.

“Based on third-party acco🎉unting, the interpretation of the 52-page document was cle💧ar from our side.

“We absolutely do not feel that w𓂃e had any advantage in 2021 or 2022. It is totally ficti༺tious.”

“We made an interim submissio🔜n in 2021 - there was no feedback that we were doing anything that was contrary🦹 to regulations.

“The submission in March, we didn’t back from until Septemꦗber which is significant time.

“There is a duty in FIA regulations to💫 guide, to have effective compliance.🌌”

“Because all the ♓teams have opinio♍ns. Some speak, others do not bring forward their views.

“I thought it was important for transparency.

“There are tim🔴es we speak openly and times there is 🌟back-channelling.

“We never spoke about the potential consequences. Like all the teams do, we suggested some solutions fo🍌r the FIA.

“It is very important for the future of t🔯he sport. It is complicated and new.

“None of us know any details. We need to wait for the FIA and Red Bull 𝐆to conclude.”

“We are in a process with the FIA. We hope to get closure on that. At that point, all facts will be laid on the table and we c꧃an talk openly about the cap, and about why we feel our costs were fully in line.

“They are diligently trying to do their job. Hopefully iꦍn the near future we will have a resolution.

“It is a new process. Remember, with these regulations, they were introduced at a level o💯f $170m reduced by $30m in the pandemic. They are complicated regulations. 2021 was the first-ever year of a set of complicated financial regulations that have v🍸arying interpretations.

“I hope we can conclude this in the near future.”

"If we are able to convert this it will be an outstanding achievement for the team. If you believe in something, anything is possible. There were times that it looked like there was no hope of challenging the ♔dominance of recent years but we have turned it around."

"We need an American driver, ꧅and a successful ▨one. Not just Brad Pitt!

"We will see more American talent emerging."

"The superlicense is another topic that we need to look at...💯"

"On the condition that he gets e🃏nough superlicence points he will become our se💧cond driver next year."

Christian Horner is arriving now...

• Horner will address Red Bull's guilt of breaking the F1 cost cap for the first time.
• Brown, who wrote a letter to the FIA complaining about Red Bull, will sit beside Horner.
• Has a resolution to this saga been found yet?

The FꦡIA have offered Red Bull an Accepted Breach Agreement.

• Red Bull could accept it, and accept that they broke rules.
• Or they can contest it.

Red Bull and the FIA are no closer to෴ resolving the issue after a meeting on Friday.

🔯Ferrari team principal Mattia Binotto is unwell so not at the track today, and therefore not in 🍰the press conference at 5.30 UK.

Jost Capito will replace him.

But all e☂yes will be on Christian🃏 Horner vs Zak Brown!

• Staff gardening leave and sick pay

• Catering costs

• Spare parts

• Tax

A breakdown of how Red Bull reportedly went from $4m within the cost cap to𝓡 $1.8m above it.

The McLaren CEO 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:wrote a letter to the FIA complaining about Red Bull’s breach.

"The overspend breach, and possibly the procedural breaches, constitute cheating by offering a significant advantage across technical, sporting and finanꦕcial regulations,” an extract from the letter read.

“Is it a so-called minor breach, because 🍌I thꦛink the word is probably not correct?

“If you’re spending $5m more, and you’re still in the minor breach, it still has a big impact൲ on the championship.

“To give you an idea, we obviously monitor closely which partsꦏ are being brought to the track from the top teams every single race – for the 2021 season and the 2022 season.

“We can see that there are two top teams that ♐are just about the same and there is another team that spends more.

“▨We know exactly that we’re spending – $3.5m a year in parts that we bring to the car. So then you can see what difference it makes to spend anoꦡther $500,000.”

"It's happened in the past for me. I would say I'd moved on from last yea𒉰r, and of course this popping up at this point in the season defini💝tely brings up emotion for many people, the fans, for everyone.

"For how it went down at the end of last ye🐻ar and then on top of that, this happened.”
