Formula 1 shouldn’t adjust cost cap for crashes - Steiner

F1’s new budget cap ⛦of $145 million has co🌜me under increased scrutiny after Red Bull saw its cars crash out of the last two races.
Max Verstappen was taken out by Lewis Hamilton on the first lap of the British Grand Pr💜ix, while Valtteri🐼 Bottas hit the back of Lando Norris on the run to Turn 1, propelling the McLaren driver into the Red Bull pair.
After each race, Christian Horner vented his frustration about how much these incidents are putting 𓃲the team under strain financially.
“It is hugely frustrating and obvio🧜usly again brutal under the cost cap,” Horner said in Hungary. “It reaffirms that when you have an incident that isn’t yours, you’re paying a significant price for that.
“That’s something t🌱hat isn’t budgeted for and is something that I think does need to be looked at in greater detail by the FIA.”
Steiner disagrees with Horner’s opinion.
“No. I think we need to live with that, we need t☂o budget for this,” Steiner added. “We need tꦬo be flexible enough.
“That is good management because then all of a sudden if we have fe🌄wer crashes, do we bring it down again so we adjust it for how many crashes we have got?
“I think i꧃t is part of racing and will be part of how much risk you take in a race and whatever you do.
“So I think it is part of racing the crashes. You cannot adjust the budget or regulation on how many crashes you ♈have got because for me, it doesn’t feel like any change is needed on this one.”
