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 d♋raconian 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 tha🔯t there will be transparency."

“I can’t tell you that! Confidential.

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

"This 𝕴could be dragged out fo💜r months which is not our intention. We want closure.

“It is in th🦩e inte🤪rests of everybody, the sport, to get this resolved as quickly as possible. There are many lessons that can be learned.”

“The cap is a rule, no more than the technical rul♉es.

“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 ܫare what we think the ramifications should be’.”

“It is tremendously disappointing for a compeꦿtitor to accuse you of cheating and fra෴udulent.

“For a competitor, without the details, to accuse you of t🅰hat?

“We’ve been on trial sincꦇe Siౠngapore. The rhetoric of cheats.

“Theꦍ numbers in the media are miles away from reali⛄ty.

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

“We see ꦰkids bullied in p♏laygrounds who are kids of our employees.

“You𒁏 cannot mak💎e these allegations without fact or substance.

“We are ap🍃palled at the behaviour of some of our competitors.”

“Absolutely not. What are the relevant costs within the cap -ꦬ this is where the 💝interpretation comes from.

“Our view is that our relevant costs come within tꦛhe cap.

꧃“We are in talks with the FI𓄧A over mitigating circumstances.

“We had zero benefit from an operational per🐟spective. 

“Our submission was below the cap. We expect things to be challe꧑nged or clarified.

“Based on third-party accounting, the interpretation of the 52-p𒆙age documꦛent was clear from our side.

“We absolutely do not feel that we had any advantage in 2021 or 2022. It is totally fictit✅ious.”

“We made an interim submission in 2021 - there was ꦚno feedback that we were doing anything that was contrary to regulations.

“The submission in Marc🌠h, we didn’t back from until September which is significant 🅘time.

“There is a duty in FIA regulations to guide, to have effectivꦫe compliance.”

“Beca🎀use all the teams have opinions. Some speak, others do not bring forward their views.

“I thought it was important for transparency.

“There are times we speak openly and times th⛄ere is back-channelling.

“We never spoke about the potential consequences. Like all the teams d✅o, we suggested some solutions for the FIA.

“It is very impo𓆏rtant for the future of the sport. It is complicated and new.

“None of us know any details. We ne🐠ed to wait for the FIA and Red Bull to 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 can 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 in the near fuꦅture we will have a resolution.

“It is a new process. Remember, with these regulations, they were introduced at a level of $170m reduced by $30m in the pandemic. They are complicated regulations. 2021 was the first-ever ye♚ar of a set of complicated financial regulations that have varying 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 years𓆏 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 t💙opic that ▨we need to look at..."

"On the cond𒁏ition that he gets enough superlicence points he will become our second 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 FIA have offered Re๊d 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 F𓂃IA are no closer to resolving the issue after a meeting on Friday.

Ferrari team principal Mattia Binotto is unwell so n🍷✃ot at the track today, and therefore not in the press conference at 5.30 UK.

Jost Capito will replace him.

But𒈔 all eyes will be on Christi༒an Horner vs Zak Brown!

• Staff gardening leave and sick pay

• Catering costs

• Spare parts

• Tax

A breakdown of how Red Bull r💯eportedly went from $4m withinꦇ the cost cap to $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, co꧒nstitute cheating by offering a significant advant🐠age across technical, sporting and financial regulations,” an extract from the letter read.

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

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

“To give you an idea, we obviously monitor closely which parts are being brought to the track fr💞om the top teams every singl🍌e race – for the 2021 season and the 2022 season.

“We can see thatౠ there are two top teams that are just about the same and there i🐓s another team that spends more.

“We know exactly that we’reꦦ spending – $3.5m a year in parts that we bring to the car. So then you can see what diffe🐽rence it makes to spend another $500,000.”

"It's happened in the past♉ for me. I woul𝄹d say I'd moved on from last year, and of course this popping up at this point in the season definitely brings up emotion for many people, the fans, for everyone.

"For how i🍸t went down at the end of last year and then on top of that, this happened.”
