Red Bull were hit with a $7 million fine and 10 per cent reduction in aerodynamic testing time for their minor breach of the168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: cost cap.

Many rivals felt the punishment was too light and it would set a dangerous precedent in futu🍬re financial y💧ears.

Giving his view on it to Gazzetta Dello Sport, Vasseur believes the penalty should be 💛a sporting one, not a𒊎 fine.

"A penalty like last year really isn't severe,” he said💝. “If it should be necessary again, such a penalty should be m♛uch heavier.

"You have to keep in mind that a technical advantage will translate into a sporting advantage. Therefore, the penalty should be sporting and not a fine.  “In so♋ccer, if you use a hand, it's a penalty... they don't giꦬve you a [non-sporting] penalty. 

“The deduction of 1🦩0 per cent wind tunnel time is a big joke. They have already done most of the work by then.

Vasseur explained why Red Bull’s overspend wasn’t as minor as sℱome made out💛.

“A 5 per cent violation is not small, it is big," Vasseur added. If you have a budg🔯et of $13ꦯ5 million, $80 million of that already goes to personnel, another $20 million to race costs, materials, brakes and so on. 

“Makinꦜg four chassis at the beginning of the seaওson also costs about $20 million. Then you already arrive at about $120-125 million. This is about the same for everyone.

“That leaves about $10 million to develop. If y🐠ou go a few million over your budget, then you should not look at the total $135 million, as has been said. We should collectively not shove this unde🐟r the rug, because then you risk it being discussed at the table.

“There is a big difference bet🥂ween an innocent mistake or a choice. A bit like someone making a mistake on their tax return, versus a company arranging something to avoid taxes in a tax haven. We have to be tough: this is about the future of the budget cap.

“Otherwise, everyone is going to do the same thing. Then you free up budget to pay the penalty and say amen. Th♏e big constructors can afford all this.”
