Ferrari boss Frederic Vasseur has described Red Bull’s penalty for breaching F1’s financial regulations in 2021 as “a big joke”.
Red Bull were hit with a $7 million fine and 10 per cent reduction in aerodynamic testing time for their minor breach of theMany rivals felt the punishment was too light and it would set a dangerous precedent in future financial years., Vasseur believes the penalty should be a sporting one, not a fine.
"A penalty like last year really isn't severe,” he said. “If it should be necessary again, such a penalty should be much heavier. "You have to keep in mind that a technical advantage will translate into a sporting advantage. Therefore, the penalty should be sporting and not a fine. “In soccer, if you use a hand, it's a penalty... they don't give you a [non-sporting] penalty.
“The deduction of 10 per cent wind tunnel time is a big joke. They have already done most of the work by then.“A 5 per cent violation is not small, it is big," Vasseur added. If you have a budget of $135 million, $80 million of that already goes to personnel, another $20 million to race costs, materials, brakes and so on.
