Oh wait...
If you fraudulently breach the financial regulations, you will be losing your championship.
FIA - no fraud, no loss, nothing to see here
So if you lie about breaching the cap but it turns out you didn't, you will lose the championship?
You can't unlearn what you've already learnt though, and RB already have these regs down. Can't see that changing with the reduction, even on top of the reduction they already get as WCC.They're not going to care about the fine but 10% reduction interesting.
I read somewhere the winning team gets reduced wind time compared to others, so maybe the extra 10% will hurt that. But, that car is already on a solid foundation for next season. :/
Well said, it will be interesting to see if the lack of wind time effects them next year if at all but this looks like barely a slap on the wrist from the FIA.You can't unlearn what you've already learnt though, and RB already have these regs down.

Yeah they're down to 63% from 70 after being WCC.I read somewhere the winning team gets reduced wind time compared to others, so maybe the extra 10% will hurt that. But, that car is already on a solid foundation for next season. :/
No, fines are specifically mentioned ad outside the cost cap.Just out of curiosity, unless it is accounted differently in the team ledger, when they pay that $7mil fine, wouldn't that affect this year's (2022) cost cap? 🤔
Might as well cheat next year again, tank those sanctions.If my estimations are correct, Red Bull will earn more in additional 2022 prize money for the constructors title than the fine will cost it...
Cheat is quite a strong term to use when you read the breach list.Might as well cheat next year again, tank those sanctions.
It's still 14 times the amount of the real terms breach. The reduction in aero research will hurt them next season.Once again, a fine is nothing more than the retail price to break rules. If you can afford it, it's not a punishment.
Nah, there's no way the FIA can overturn past results...a rewrite of the 2021 final standings.
The illegal theft of documents which were brazenly copied in a shop and potentially directly led to technical directives based on knowledge no one should have had? What of it? That's not even in the same ballpark as a minor overspend and procedural error in the first year of a complex set of financial regulations.Nah, there's no way the FIA can overturn past results...
Anyone remember what happened to McLaren when it gained no advantage from a Ferrari engineer passing confidential data to a McLaren engineer?
You see, this is the bit that puzzles me about it all.The illegal theft of documents which were brazenly copied in a shop.....
I dunno, considering it was quite late 2007 when it was handed down and 2007 development would have been comfortably underway with eyes on the regulation changes in 2009 as well, their 2009 car certainly suffered in some way. Whether it could be attributed to how much the fine was is difficult to say but the timeline would be right for that impact.When you look at McLaren's performance in 2008 it's clear that $100M fine had little to no effect on development, assuming they paid the fine at all...
Ferrari were equally abysmal in 2009 with no such fine, and then they were both frontrunners again in 2010.I dunno, considering it was quite late 2007 when it was handed down and 2007 development would have been comfortably underway with eyes on the regulation changes in 2009 as well, their 2009 car certainly suffered in some way.
