Red Bull were fined $7million and hit with a 10 per cent redไuction in aerodynamic testing for 12 months from October last year after being found guilty of breaching the cost c😼ap limit in 2021. 

The extra handicap so far appears to have barely impacted Red 🐽Bull, who after sweep♛ing up both world championships in 2022, look to be even more dominant this season. 

But while marvelling at the sophistication of the RB19’s floor design - which was exposed to the world at the Monaco Grand Prix - Sky Sporඣts F1 pitlane reporter Kravitz explained when Red Bull will start to feel their punishment. 

“The detail on that Red Bull floor, that stuff takes time, and the complexity of that stuff takes many iterations as well,” Kravitz said on his post-qualifying ‘Notebook’ at the Canadian🧔 Grand Priꦐx. 

“It’s clea🃏r to me now why the upper surཧfaces and sidepods and all the rest of it on the RB19 are more or less the same as the RB18. 

“That’s because Adrian, Pierre Wache and all the people a🐠t Red Bull spent al🥀l their time over the winter on the floor. 

“And if you are thinking ‘hang on, what a🌳bout cost cap and the aerodynamic testing restrictions, the penalty, when is that going to come in?’

“Well Pierre Wache, the technicaಌl director, had an answer for me for that on Thursday. 

“H𓆉e said at the end of the season that cut in aerodynamic testing is going to have an effect and crucially, it’s going to have an effect on next year’s Red Bull RB20. 

“I thought that was really, really interesting.

“So if you are thinking ‘hang on, how come they’ve got the best car?’ It is going to bite Red Bull🔯, just not yet, certai🍷nly not before they win this year’s world championship.”
