Cost cap saga “might not end up as a penalty” as Red Bull work on 2024 car

As 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen was sealing his second c🍎onsecutive F1 championship last year, Red Bull were punished for exceeding the 2021 cost cap and hit with a $7m fine and, crucially, a 10 percent reduction in wind tunnel time for this seꦕason.
But such was their momentum💞 from last season into 2023, they have won every grand prix so far and have already turned their attention to developing their 2024 car.
Sky’s Kravitz explained: “[Red Bull team principal Christian] Horner said ‘we are already designing, and spending our time, on next year’s car, the RB🌱2🌺0’.
“They have already g🃏ot the advantage with this year’s car. We aren’t even at half-way in the season.
“Already, they can have the capacity and th🐽e aerodynamic testing time and the wind tunn🌌el time - even considering the penalty for the cost cap - to concentrate on next year’s car.
“So it’s a virtuous circle🐎, having such a good car this y🌟ear.

“It might end up that the cost cap breach agreement, the penalty🅘 of 10 percent less wind tunnel time, might not end up as a penalty at all.
“Because if they can start now on next year’s car, it won☂’t be a penalty꧂ at all, is it?
“So all that hullabaloo at the end of last year? It look🔯s like it 🧸won’t affect Red Bull at all.”
Verstappen won the F1 Canadian Grand Prix on Sunday, cruising clear of Asꩲt𝔍on Martin’s Fernando Alonso and Mercedes’ Lewis Hamilton.
He is 69 points🅰 cl🔜ear at the top of the F1 standings with his teammate Sergio Perez chasing him.
