Christian Horner does not think Red Bull's cost cap penalty has had its 'full impact' just yet.
Red Bull team principal Christian Horner addressed the team's 2021 budget cap penalty in Mexico City.
Horner revealed Red Bull have had to work around that as a result, and that “thankfully” the pace in the RB19 allowed them to put focus on their 2024 car early.when the team’s penalty was announced that the eventual sporting ramifications could cost Red Bull around half a second per lap in car development.
Within that, he praised the rigour with which the FIA conducted their investigation into the cost cap, though he did use a colourful metaphor to illustrate it. “I think the process of the cost cap is evolving. It’s a very complex set of regulations that have evolved and the degree of scrutiny this year was, phenomenal in terms of the rigour that the FIA went to – it was a full colonoscopy that we experienced during the summer.
Much of the season has been spent with several teams in a chasing pack behind Red Bull, with Aston Martin, Ferrari, Mercedes and McLaren having all had times as ‘best of the rest’ this season. “With the wind tunnel restrictions that we’ve had, we’ve elected to use that on RB20, next year’s car, as opposed to continuing the development on our RB19.
