Basta. Red Bull Racing and all other teams adhered to the budget limit in 2022.
All rumors, gossip and what else can go in the trash. The FIA has concluded that Red Bull Racing has neatly adhered to the set budget limit of USD 140 million in 2022. All teams, by the way.
The conclusion was drawn after an independent investigation by the FIA. In 2022, Red Bull was still in the dust, after it turned out that the team had exceeded the limit by 2.3 million dollars in 2021. The team was fined millions. The team also had to spend 10 percent less time in the wind tunnel compared to the other teams. The consequences of that penalty are not really noticeable for the team: Red Bull Racing is miles ahead of the competition this season.
Budget cap down
All Formula 1 teams have not exceeded the $ 140 million limit in 2022. In recent years, the budget cap adjusted. In 2021, a budget of USD 145 million was still available for the development of a Formula 1 car. In 2022 this will be adjusted to 140 million and this year the limit will be 135 million. This was done, among other things, to level the midfield a bit more with the top teams. At Haas they simply have less to spend than at Scuderia Ferrari, for example.
Benefit
By exceeding the budget cap, one team can gain an advantage over the rest. That is why the FIA has a strict investigation into the expenditure of all Formula 1 teams. In any case, Red Bull Racing behaved properly in 2022. Like all other teams, the budget has been respected.
