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 punishme🐓nt was too light an♏d it would set a dangerous precedent in future financial years.

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

"A penalt❀y lik♛e last year really isn't severe,” he said. “If it should be necessary again, such a penalty should be much heavier.

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

“The deduction of 10 per cent wind tunnel time ✨is a big joke. They hℱave already done most of the work by then.

Vasseur explained why Red Bull’s⭕ overspend wasn’𒊎t as minor as some made out.

“🦩A 5 per ce♛nt violation is not small, it is big," Vasseur added. If you have a budget of $135 million, $80 million of that already goes to personnel, another $20 million to race costs, materials, brakes and so on. 

“Making four chassis at the beginnꦚing of the season 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 you 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 uꦡnder the rug, bꦛecause then you risk it being discussed at the table.

“There is a big difference between an innoc💮ent mistake or a choice. A bit like someone making a mistake on their tax return, versus a co🏅mpany 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 p✤enalty and say amen. The big constructors can afford all this.”
