F1 United States Grand Prix: Toto Wolff mocks Christian Horner over cost cap “sandwiches”
Horner called rivals w🅺ho call for punishments “appalling” and claimed that the children of Red Bull employees are being bullied in school playgro♔unds over the accusations.
Red Bull and the FIA have reportedly agreed a penalty for the team’s breach of the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:2021 F1 cost cap, according to , but will delay announcing the result out of respect for 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Dietrich Mateschitz, the Red Bull founder who died on Saturday.
Mercedes team principal Wolff, speaking to Sky Germany before news of Mateshitz’🍒s passing, 🎃reacted to Horner’s claims over the cost cap breach: "I almost had to put out a tear when I heard that.
"The fact is♈ that nine out of 10 teams have remained below the cost cap.&༺nbsp;
“The fact is that♚ one team argues that they slipped over with supposed non-performance issues, but they also apply to all of us.”
One of the reasons reported for Red Bull’s “minꦜor” breach of the $145m cap was free staff lunch at their Milton Keynes head💞quarters.
“We also thought about how many sandwiches we give peo♐ple and how we deal with other cost blocks," Wolff mocked.
"Whatever they're over with, whether it's 🐈a million, two or five, I don't know, it's a monetary advantage that can be translated into development.🍒"
Horner had categorically denied that Red Bull’s minor breach of the cost cap gave the team an on-track advantage in the season where 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen won the title by pipping 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton at the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:2021 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
Wolff accused Horner of “reverse psychology” by framing Red Bull as the victim🌃s.
The Merc𒅌edes boss said “the nine teams” wh🍒o stayed within budget were the true victims of this issue.
Footage emerged on Saturday at the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:F1 United States Grand Prix of Red Bull drivers Verstappen and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sergio Perez being heckled by fans over the cost cap saga.
Wolff said that this fan behaviour was not acceptable: "That's not possible at all. The booing on ♑the podium or at fan forums is an escalation, nobody wants to see that.
“This must not happen.
“We have to try to get our fans on track. We fight and off the track. But we don't have such animosities against each 🌱other."
