Red Bull “raise eyebrows” at ex-Mercedes advisor within FIA during cost cap decision
The FIA found Red Bull in “minor” breach of the 2021 budget of $145m but, ahead of the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:F1 United States Grand Prix, have not decided how to penalise them.
Christian Horner’🌠s team have now "raised eyebrows" at Shaila-Ann Rao, who was previously a legal advisor to Mercedes and now works for the FIA as their interim secretary-general, De Telegraaf have reported.
Red Bull are also denying t🀅hat the salary of Adrian Newey is the reason for their overspend, the🔜 report says.
Chief technical officer is among💖 Red Bull’s highest-earning three employees therefore is exempt from the budget cap, they claim. Prevꦚious reports had suggested that Newey had been employed in a way which meant his salary had broken cost cap rules.
Red Bull still believe that the overspend (which by FIA definition is less than $7.25) was caused by issues such as 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:free lunch for staff at their Milton Keynes headquarters.
The team are “irritated” by the lack▨ of a decis🎀ion from the FIA, the report says.
