His propensity to damage cars.
He really hasn’t done that at all since well prior to the summer break. One incident I can think of recently during practice. In wet. So he’s done exactly what they asked him to do. Clean it up.
If I remember right it was Japan…and most of the damage has come in practice/Quali and not the actual races. It does add up. I think I remember Steiner addressing it sometime in the last few weeks I think.
It does add up...but overall, it has stopped, and Haas comes out still crying about it. And since the summer break Mick has consistently outperformed or performed at the same level as Kevin. He stepped it up and they are still publicly calling him out about crashes that occurred at the beginning. They are effing him over. Giovinazzi crashes after 3 laps and they are quick to make excuses for him. If you don't want Mick, privately get another driver and announce when ready. Don't throw him under the bus publicly because your car is garbage, your strategy is many races has sucked, and you don't have money to do upgrades. The team is a joke.
Don’t sugar coat it…give it to us straight.
Interesting, but Red Bull can afford the 7 Mil fine, the 10 percent wind tunnel testing reduction will have negligible impact on vehicle development and red Bull has the Championship.Finally some closure...."The FIA found Red Bull had been in breach of the $145 million cap by £432,652 once an unclaimed UK tax credit of £1.4 million (£1.6 million) was taken into account."
Red Bull gets $7 million fine, 10% wind-tunnel reduction
Red Bull has been handed a $7 million fine and a 10% reduction in wind-tunnel testing time for next season as punishment for breaching the 2021 budget cap.www.espn.com
According to sky sports, the 10% reduction means 25 runs next season rather than 28. Ferrari has 30 runs. Mercedes 32. So I am not sure about it being negligible.
I believe track test time to be more impactful not wind tunnel time.
I don't remember seeing that as even an option that could be put on the table based on the rules in place for such a breach. I could be wrong though.
Remember these are runs per week, if I remember correctly. The huge advantage to the wind tunnels is they can be set to replicate each individual track. So I’m thinking in general Red Bull might not have upgrades be as impactful right away next year…maybe? Lacking a windtunnelology doctorate may limit the knowledge of my WAG.
Yep. It is not even close. Destroyed the competition. And in many races, by a long distance.
Yeah, maybe. Memory is a funny thing.
If Checo ever wins the Mexico GP, dad is gonna flip to another level.
Does he even have a higher level?
I have a hotel room booked for Austin. Pass on Vegas. Don’t believe the hype.
