Red Bull Racings star driver Max Verstappen has spoken out following the FIAs decision to fine Honda Racing Corporation and Alpine a combined $1 million for procedural breaches of Formula 1s budget cap. The fines come as the Sao Paulo Grand Prix approaches, placing additional scrutiny on the teams budget management and transparency.

Verstappen expressed frustration with the ruling, stating, I understand the need for regulations, but a $1 million fine feels excessive, especially when theres no clear advantage gained on track. It feels more like a message than a fair penalty.

The penalties were issued as Honda, who currently supplies engines to Red Bull, and Alpine were found to have submitted incomplete or inaccurate cost reporting under the $95 million cap. While the FIA confirmed there was no evidence of intentional advantage gained, the procedural lapses led to substantial financial penalties.

As Red Bull looks ahead to next season, Verstappen voiced concern over the potential impact of stringent cost cap enforcement, noting, We need consistency in the sport. Fines and regulations should enhance fairness, not hinder competition with excessive punishments.

With the Sao Paulo GP approaching, the controversy has sparked further discussions about the cost caps future impact on Formula 1 teams and their ability to manage resources effectively under intense regulatory oversight.
