I don't believe that that is the case here. See last paragraph. The article just states that they Red Bull are going to admit their error, and will accept whatever penalty the FIA hands down. This is exactly what happened with Williams, who accepted the FIA's findings and paid the penalty of $25,000 that was imposed. It just means that Red Bull will not take an appeal to the next stage, and in due course the FIA or Red Bull will publish what the transgression actually was, and what the penalty is. |

It will almost certainly be a slap on the wrist, nothing meaningful.

I think there is a chance they will get quite a hefty fine. Break the financial rules, get some of your finances docked

According to this article https://racingnews365.com/red-bulls-...our-main-areas RB has misacounted for around 6 million dollars
They have submitted a return of 140 million but it seems there were an extra 6 million that should have been included in cap - Article explains the areas this has happend It also seems they were expecting a tax rebate from HMRC that they did not receive 6 million is quite a lot to "misaccount for" and the other UK teams did not have such issue...it is all quite intricate and interesting |

Also what intrigues me, if the article is in fact correct, why submit 140 million spending? Your job as a team is to maximise spending and performance so leaving 5 million on the table unused does not sound smart to me expecially when that money could have been used in developing this year's car.
It would make me think that they knew they were playing with the finances and gave themselves some spending levy through smart(or not so smart) accounting so they do no end up with a major breach or close to one if it does not work out |

I don’t even think F1 is capable of that, over the years F1 and the FIA have always done all they can to save face, often flying against all logic and good reason. No I think the sporting punishment should be enacted on the upcoming season, it’s the only thing they can do if they want to save face, I mean it’s not the right thing to do, but it IS the “FIA thing” to do.

Rip! Huge contribution to the sport we love!
Can’t imagine it’s good news for the team or the teams in its current guise. |

So, it seems that the major problem is that the three top (excluding driver) salaries are excluded. Newey is within that - but he's a contractor, not a direct employee.
Therefore RB excluded him and the FIA have put him back in, and taken the next highest out - who is obviously significantly cheaper. What are people's thoughts on that? |

This was discussed several pages ago. It would seem as though the FIA are taking the same line as the Inland Revenue who consider that a "contractor" who receives the bulk of their income from a single source should be treated as an employee and should therefore be subject to PAYE and NIC. This is not something new, however HMRC are actively pursuing this far more rigorously than in the past. A friend of mine was caught up in this back in the 80s. |

I suspect strict legal definitions are going to come into play here, which will end up with the FIA having to save face. |

I would think that if they interpreted it this way in 2021 then they would have spent up til now in 2022 interpreting the same way they did in 2021?
If so and they can’t find a way to reduce expenses for the remainder of this year (I don’t know how possible that is) then they could be looking at two consecutive years of breaches? |

thinking more on it...as Mike alludes to, this has long been an issue for sub contractors, those that contract their services, and tax authorities, not just in the UK but everywhere really, deal with this issue so frequently as to consider it common place issues.
add to that the nature of teams' regular dealings with outside suppliers at both arms and non-arms length terms then surely the issue of what constitutes a employee, contractor, supplier etc is of utmost importance. frankly im surprised any ambiguity was left in the budget cap agreements concerning the definition of these categories in the first place. out there speculation part: i add the arm-length concern in there because for all we know Newey's retainer (to either himself or whatever corporate entity he uses to shelter his income) is set at favourable terms based on his long term relationship with RB and knowledge that he has other 'non f1' income streams. and by favorable i mean the RB racing team could in effect be paying Newey (or his corp) significantly less then another team would pay for one of the top minds in the game. rather, its entirely possible that even with Newey's remuneration being added back to the mix, RB racing have still found a loop hole that still shelters them from a 'major' infraction according to what is potentially looking like an 'intentionally' poorly drafted set of budget rules? |

what happens when a team fails to arrive for a race weekend? i seem to recall mention that in the (Bernie) past FOM had an obligation for at least 10 teams to arrive at an event in order to uphold his commitment to the venues/hosts? |

Look, I know you have a huge need to be right all the time, but might I suggest that you read the question that was posed ever so slowly so that you are able to fully comprehend what was actually asked. crmalcom asked what the benefit to Red Bull was, and I answered the question about that benefit to Red Bull. It matters not a jot about where Newey's company is based! However, dependent on Newey's company's turnover, VAT may come into the equation. |
