Frédéric Vasseur demands more efficient control of the budget cap
Frédéric Vasseur hopes that the FIA will be faster in its verification regarding compliance with the budget cap.
This statement obviously refers to what happened last season regarding Red Bull’s offense. The Austrian team did not comply with the budget cap, but this announcement came late as Max Verstappen already had his trophy in hand, which caused some commotion within the paddock.
If Red Bull manages to retain all its titles in 2021 and 2022, it will face significant penalties for the 2023 season.
Frédéric Vasseur, boss of the Ferrari team, thus requests faster inspections in the future.
“It was the first season with the new regulations, it was a big challenge for the FIA,” acknowledges Vasseur in an interview for La Gazetta dello Sport. “But we all know that these investigations need to go faster, as they pertain to previous championships and can have consequences on the current and upcoming season. Of course, we are concerned about this.”
Next month, teams must submit their financial documents for 2022 to the FIA, so the French hope that the verdict will come earlier than last season.
