2022 Oracle | Red Bull Racing F1 Team

It's like they never actually left the sport

The Milton Keynes team would therefore have exceeded the $145 million limit by only $150,000 (instead of the $12 million of which it was accused), which would have earned it a minor sanction of $25,000.

That's fake.

From a RBR insider. The administrator of the Max Verstappen site:

"Nothing is coming out today (from the FIA) about the budget cap. That will be after the weekend at the earliest."

Er komt vandaag niets naar buiten (vanuit de FIA) over de budgetcap. Dat zal op z'n vroegst na het weekend zijn.

So, was it just the media that brought Wednesday into the game?

It seems so.

Hm like I posted in the speculation thread, it feels to me like it's all politics to take overshadow another title win for Verstappen. I don't believe Red Bull has overspend millions like some rumours suggest but we will see.

I hope if Verstappen wins the title this weekend, it will be about Honda + Red Bull + Verstappen and not budget caps!

Yes but, yes but, yes but, ..... then Toto gets angry!

Probably a ploy by Mercedes to distract Red Bull so that Max wouldn't win, on his birthday no less. Now Max has a slim chance to win the championship in Japan and more likely to win it in the US, which actually may be a better market and audience to win it in front of.

Slim chances?! WTF are you on about? He just needs to win it and get FL, which is more than likely feat for him.

Think about it-it's a wet race most likely, might not go full distance, Mercedes will go for fastest lap toward the end. Ferrari are quick and a no-DRS race will mean strategy won't allow for a late pitstop to get fastest lap. Knowing Honda luck, Max will be lucky to finish. Last time we raced at Suzuka I was trackside and weathered the typhoon only for Max to be taken out by Charles.

Let's hope for some luck and a Brazil 2016 performance of Verstappen in a fully wet race. Winning the championship with a performance like that on Suzuka.... Couldn't ask for much more

[Wouter]

Tokio today.

[Zynerji]

I'm reading that RedBull will run with full Honda branding from Suzuka to the end of the year.

It's about time. The pictures that get enshrined for history should have their mark.
