F1 | Red Bull, Horner rejects the accusations: "The other teams talk, for us the facts count"
"I am convinced of the validity of the data we presented, we are an easy target for everyone", he added
Christian Horner's response to Toto Wolff arrives immediately, who accused Red Bull of violating the financial regulation regarding the budget cap in 2021 and with effects also on 2022 and 2023. The Austrian team is already in the eye of the storm , and the FIA is investigating properly to try to clarify the whole matter. It is clear that last season's result is already in the archives, and the team principal of the Austrian team rejects the accusations not only from Mercedes but from the Circus in general.
“If I listened to every voice, I would never go to sleep – Horner said to Mara Sangiorgio on Sky. Rumors are rumors, we only deal with facts. The cost cap was for the first year and was issued in March, the FIA is working on this process and I know that the result of the investigations will be published next week, but we are calm. We're an easy target to point the finger at and it will be interesting to see when everything comes out. I expect that what we have presented will be considered valid, I have no reason to believe anything else. There have been various discussions, clarifications and interpretations, but we must remember that these regulations are new. I don't think the FIA has made any statements, other teams have made allusions, let's stick to the facts and not fiction."
“The regulations are complicated and there are things that are inside the budget cap, others outside such as support functions. The FIA is trying to catch up: there are companies that collaborate with the teams but I am confident in what we have presented. There have been rumors about the lighter frame, but Max has been using the same one for most of the year.”
