‘Winning doesn’t make many friends’ – Red Bull adviser lashes out at F1 rivals for making allegations based on ‘completely unsubstantiated rumors’

Helmut Marko, Red Bull’s team advisor, said the claims rival teams were making against them (in relation to the budget cap) were “completely unfounded”. It rhymed with what I said earlier on the same topic. The team denies the allegations brought against them and believes it is disappointing for competitors to accuse teams of unsubstantiated allegations. Instead of blaming the team for the serious allegations, he said he was blaming a rival team.

“It’s the most offensive…completely unsubstantiated rumor with the most serious allegations.”

“But it wasn’t from the FIA, it was from the competitors. Winning doesn’t make many friends.”

The FIA’s report on last year’s budget found Red Bull guilty of violating the $145 million cost cap. The “minor” overspending referred to turned out to be $7.2 million. The team has denied the same and issued a statement that a thorough investigation of the report from the FIA ​​will be conducted.So far, official statements from the team and the FIA ​​have been minimal.

Red Bull boss accuses competitor of pushing claims against team without facts

Christian Horner has previously called out rival teams for pushing allegations against them without revealing the full facts about the team’s 2021 budget. Told.

“It is very shocking that another contestant could make such an accusation without knowing the facts and knowing the details.”

The team also revealed that the children of Red Bull employees were being bullied on the playground. Horner said it was completely wrong and that it was also starting to hurt the morale of the team and workers.

The FIA ​​has yet to elaborate on the whole budget issue. As the team waits to hear about the punishment from the organization, Red Bull is rushing to win the Constructors’ Championship for the first time in almost a decade at the US Grand Prix.
