Red Bull are currently enduring somewhat of a waiting game, as the Austrians await confirmation from the FIA over what their punishment will be for exceeding the 2021 budget cap. Following much speculation since the Singapore Grand Prix, the FIA confirmed for all the world last Monday that the current Constructors’ leaders did indeed exceed the budget cap in

While Max Verstappen’s 2022 crown has already been wrapped up, his 2021 success continues to be questioned following Red Bull’s breach of the budget cap. Verstappen claimed his second consecutive World Championship at last weekend’s Japanese Grand Prix, where he claimed his 12th victory of the season, further cementing his superiority over the paddock. His

Max Verstappen was crowned a double World Champion at last weekend’s Japanese Grand Prix, where he somehow managed to claim the biggest victory ever at the Suzuka International Racing Course despite the race having been reduced to 28 laps. The Dutchman claimed victory 27 seconds ahead of team-mate Sergio Pérez, on his way to a

Max Verstappen wrapped up his second consecutive World Championship at last weekend’s first Japanese Grand Prix since 2019, after claiming his 12th victory of the 2022 season.

Charles Leclerc is confident that Ferrari have what it takes to win the World Championship next season and deny Max Verstappen a third consecutive Drivers’ Championship. 2022 started perfectly for Ferrari and Leclerc, as the Monegasque driver won two of the first three races and finished second at the other, which gave him a 46-point

Despite 2022 not seeing a titanic battle between Red Bull and Mercedes as seen so emphatically in 2021, it’s safe to say that Christian Horner and Toto Wolff are still very much rivals. Whilst their sides haven’t been in the same battle this year that they were in last season, things have again started to boil

Fans are noticing that Red Bull team principal, Christian Horner, has been conspicuous in his absence since the FIA’s verdict that the team broke the financial regulations last season. The teams were given a cap of $145 million within which to operate in 2021, and development on the 2022 car was counted within that. As

Mercedes are reportedly ready to toss the rule book out the window next year if Red Bull are not sufficiently punished for breaching the budget cap.
