"Arrogance of this guy is unbelievable"- Fans react to Red Bull boss demanding 'apology' from other F1 teams over cost cap breach

Christian Horner feels that Red Bull deserves an apology from rival teams for the allegations that they levied against them in relation to the budget cap drama. During a recent press conference, when asked if the team owed an apology to fans, Horner said that it was other teams that owed them an apology: “An apology from who? To be honest with you, we are due an apology from our rivals for the claims that have been made. We make no apology for the way we have performed and acted.&quot;The FIA revealed the penalties that Red Bull will have to serve after they were found guilty of breaching the cost cap in the 2021 season. They have been handed a $7 million fine (as the breach was found to be $7.2 million at 1.6%, and 0.4% was because of taxes). Other than that, a sporting penalty has also been awarded to the team: A 10% reduction in the use of the wind tunnel, which is effective in the overall aerodynamic development of the car.WTF1@wtf1officialRed Bull have been given the second largest fine in F1 history 🤯8107222Red Bull have been given the second largest fine in F1 history 🤯 https://t.co/iAHolf6ZZeWhile many believe that the penalties are not enough, Horner stated that they are significant and are going to largely affect development in the upcoming season:“Some people have said that is an insignificant penalty.

Red Bull cheated by over spending, the other teams said nothing more than that. It was Horner and Red Bull who consistently maintained they hadn't breached the cap, which clearly they did.

What a joke f1 is!71@SkySportsF1 No they owe people an apology for lying and breaking rules. What planet does he live on!? What a joke f1 is!Although Red Bull have won both the driver's championship (with Max Verstappen) and the constructor's championship, Horner believes that the reputation of the team has been largely &quot;damaged&quot; because of allegations from rivals. He stated that now is the time for everyone to move on from this incident:“We have taken a very public pounding. Our drivers have been booed and the reputational damage from these allegations has been significant. The time is for that now to stop and move on.”Horner also stated that Red Bull's budget breach had no effect on Verstappen's title victory last year, stating that that he won the championship fair and square. The FIA, too, revealed that the overspend had been on a total of 13 areas but catering, sick pays, and unused car parts were largely to blame.
