So slap on the wrist time or something harder??


Wouldn't it be interesting if they deducted points from the RB drivers and handed the 2021 championship to Hamilton? laugh2
Deemed as a "minor" infringement, so probably a slap on the wrist instead.



Seems most likely a penalty for the Manufacturer, rather than the driver. A fine, less windtunnel time... that sort of thing.

While racing at that level is all about managing around the edges of the rules, it's no surprise that Red Bull took things further than the others - and then protest their innocence.

Of course, if the overspend was on development, their drivers benefitted by having faster cars - in a very tight drivers championship it might have been the difference. We'll never know.
