Formula 1 | There is a scandal in the F1 series that could deprive Max Verstappen of the championship – Red Bull threatens Mercedes with legal action

F1 series who won the world championship last year Max Verstappen is in danger of losing his WC title afterwards.

The international automobile association FIA is currently investigating a possible rule violation by two teams, which could cost their drivers World Championship points. According to rumors, it is Red Bull and Aston Martin.

The teams are suspected of exceeding the $145 million spending cap that was set for them last season.

Depending on the situation, the punishments for exceeding the spending ceiling can be either fines, a ban from competition, or the worst for Red Bull: a deduction of World Championship points.

Verstappen won the world championship last year by just seven points to Lewis Hamiltonso even a small point loss afterwards could be fatal for him.

of Hamilton working as a team manager at Mercedes Toto Wolff has claimed that Red Bull has pushed significantly more than the spending cap would allow. According to him, it’s not even a secret in the F1 pit.

Wolff says that Mercedes itself used cheap used parts in its own cars.

British newspaper of the Guardian including Red Bull’s team manager Christian Horner is now threatening Mercedes with legal action.

“I would be interested to know what the source of these false claims is. They are really humiliating,” Horner fumed at a press conference during the Singapore race weekend.

Fia has not made a decision on possible punishments yet, but one is expected to be made by Wednesday. Horner, on the other hand, is not going to wait with legal action.

“If those claims are not retracted, we are going to take them very seriously. We will explore all possible options because it is completely inexcusable to make such comments that disgrace the entire team, the brand and the F1 series,” he said.
