Red Bull team boss Christian Horner says “you could never be 100% sure” that you are within the budget cap.
Red Bull made headlines in 2022 after it was revealed that the team has breached the 2021 budget cap.
The team later explained that the breach happened due to their wrong interpretation of certain parts of the “new” financial regulations.
Since just up until the breach was officially announced by the FIA in October, Red Bull maintained that they were in compliance with the regulations, some are now questioning if the team has continued to do the same type of ‘faulty’ accounting throughout 2022.
If that was the case, it wouldn’t be too far-fetched to suggest that they could be in breach of the 2022 budget cap as well.
According to Red Bull team boss Christian Horner, even he is not “100% sure” that they will be within the budget cap.

“You could never be 100% sure,” the Briton told Auto Motor und Sport.
“But certainly all the aspects that were a reason for us to be over in 2021, which remember it was a very first year of a set of very complicated regulations, we’re confident that we should be comfortably within the cap.
“For 2022, the amount of development we did, and particularly crash damage that we had, was significantly less.
“So, until you’ve got the certificate [of compliance], nothing is 100%.
“But I’d be very surprised if we weren’t fully within the cap,” Horner concluded.
