Fernando Alonso ‘completely trusts the FIA’ as F1 cost cap verdict looms
The FIA didn’t reveal the results of its audit into all 10 teams’ finances on Wednesday, 168澳洲幸运5官方⛄开奖结果历史:pos🐎tponing the announcement until Monday.
There has been a raft of speculation in the last week about two teams - Red Bull and Alonso’s new team for 2023, Aston Martin - for potentially overspending and vio🥃lating F1’s new financial rules.
According to , no team is set to face severe punishment for breaking the finan🌌cial regulations in 2021, however, this will only be officially confirmed by the FIA on Monday.
Speaking ahead of this weekend’s 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:F1 Japanese Grand Prix at Suzuka, Alonso ওinsisted thaღt he ‘completely trusts the FIA’ and new president, Mohammed ben Sulayem.
“Very high, to be honest, “he said. “As I said a few times, I have a lot of trust in Mohammed, the president and his team. I think, still, a few things on tওhe race weekend, some consistency and other topics that we face race after race that we are improving but they’re willing to learn and to improve as well - that’s very positive maybe compared to the past.
“On other things outside racing, off trackꦑ, I trust completely what they’re doing and what the outcome will be next week with the cost cap𒅌, and how the sport is moving into the future. I have no doubts on anything.”
The 41-year-old warned that the cost cap needs to be “really well done” due to the complex structures of 🙈F1 teams.
“I don’t know, it’s a difficult topic from the driver point of view,” Alonso added. “It’s not really relevant here and we rely on our teams to really control eve♐rything they do. I guess we all expect from the FIA to police as well as possible all these things because we want to race in a fair environment and things.
“But it is a very difficult topic, because there is a lot of things that we need to make sure that they are contr🃏olled. The budget cap is one thing but there are many teams with different structures, different things, their own circuit in their own factories - things that we need to control a lot. So it has to be really well done.”
“There should be consequences” - Vettel
Four-time world champion 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sebastian Vettel believes “there shoul💮d be consequences’ should a team not comply with the rules.
“Yeah along the same lines,” Vettel explained. “We try to control our driving and I think we know when we are right and we are wrong in terms of being fair, giving enough space - we’ve just listened to Nicholas (Latifi) and shit happens as well, but we try to obviously be fair most of the time and I think that’s the same for any governance of the sport is to ensure the fairness is there across the teams, across the year, across the season, acrossౠ the sport.
“The FIA is in charge of that and we have to trust they’re doing the job and if you fail to comply to the rules then there shou💃ld be consequences. It’s a complicated or complex matter and we’re not the best judge♏s to understand but I think the art is to break it down, make it simple and make it clear.”
