Budgetary cap: Red Bull fined $7 million

The fine is hefty. Red Bull, found guilty of breaching the budget limits, now faces its punishment in 2021. After signing an admission of guilt agreement, the team managed by Christian Horner is being fined 7 million dollars. It has 30 days to settle the amount with the FIA.

Red Bull is also facing a 10% reduction in their aerodynamic testing time for this minor infraction. This penalty applies for the 2023 season.

The FIA has released a statement in which it outlines the details of the sanctions.

RBR must pay a financial penalty of 7 million dollars to the FIA within 30 days following the date of execution of the ABA (Article 9.5 of the Financial Regulations).

  • RBR receives a minor sporting penalty in the form of a limitation on RBR’s ability to conduct aerodynamic testing for a period of 12 months from the date of execution of the ABA, through the application of a 10% reduction in the C coefficient used to calculate the restriction on wind tunnel testing time and the restriction on CFD testing time applicable to each team, according to Article 6 of Annex 7 of the Formula 1 Sporting Regulations. For example, if the C coefficient, based on RBR’s position in the championship, is 70%, the new effective value of C is 63%.
  • RBR assumes the costs incurred by the Budgetary Administration in the preparation of the ABA.
  • Regarding Aston Martin, who did not exceed the budget and is under the accusation of procedural infringement, their sanction has not yet been disclosed.
