F1 United States GP: Red Bull hold FIA talks but no deal as Christian Horner prepares to face-off with rivals

The weekend has so far been dominated by talk of Red Bull being found in breach of the $145m spending limit set during 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen’s title-winning campaign in 2021.
F1’s governing body the FIA has 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:proposed terms for an ‘Accepted Breach 🌱Agreement’ (ABA) to Red Bull but a resolution appears no closer to being reached as of Frida🌞y evening.
Red Bull team principal Christian Horner met FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem for talks which lasted around 15 minutes between Friday’s two practice sessions 🏅in Austin.
En na dik een kwartier komen ze samen naar buiten, H♌orner en Ben Sꦦulayem.

The💙 Milton Keynes-based outfit ꦫhas two options; accept the ABA, which is an admission of guilt and a penalty, or challenge the FIA’s verdict.
Details surrounding the exact figure of Red Bull’s breach, and the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:potential penalty the team could𝓀 receive, remain confidential.
If Red Bull, who have always maintained their innocence, decide to fight the FIA’s findings, the matter wo🐻uld go to an adjudication panel of independent judges to decide whether the party is guilty.

Red Bull postponed a planned pre𒐪ss briefing to address the situation on Friday morning after Ben Sulayem delayed a meeting with Horner, which had🔴 initially been scheduled for Thursday evening.
However, Horner will square off with two of his most vocal rivals in the cost cap saga - Ferrari’s Mattia Binotto and McLaren’s Zak Brown - in a press conference on Satu✨rday.
It promises to be a tense affair, especially after Brown wrote a letter to the FIA in which he said breaking the cost cap 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:“constitutes cheating” and called for penalties th▨at will hit Red Bull financially and on the track.
