Budget 2021: Fernando Alonso trusts the FIA in case of teams exceeding the limit
While the FIA is expected to deliver its report on the 2021 budgets of each team, Fernando Alonso trusts the authority regarding possible sanctions.
From Singapore, two teams are in the spotlight. According to several rumors, Red Bull and Aston Martin would have exceeded the budget cap during the 2021 season. If this were to be true, both teams would receive penalties.
The FIA was supposed to release its report this Wednesday, October 5th, but finally, the documents will be unveiled this Monday, October 10th. When asked about this, Fernando Alonso places full trust in the global governing body, in case they have to make drastic decisions.

« On other matters outside of the competition, I fully trust in what they are doing and in the conclusion that will be published next week regarding the budget cap. I have no doubt about anything, not even about how it will evolve.
