Speaking at the press conference held after the Accepted Breach Agreement (ABA) was released, Horner stressed: "I stand by the statement there was zero benefit because the amount we want over - as I've just explained - we believe there are mitigating factors. If we went over because of sick pay, if we went over because we paid people that we felt weren't in the cap, in terms of cost within catering - not one penny was spent on performance of the vehicle. Not one penny was spent on the performance of the car. I'm astounded that there are no other teams that have found themselves in this position, but good for them that eight of them were fully compliant." The team has already picked up the constructors' and drivers' titles for 2022. However, many await to see if the Milton-Keynes-based outfit will be able to mirror a similar streak next year.

(Photo by Chris Graythen/Getty Images) trackside engineer Andrew Shovlin believes that Red Bull are exaggerating the repercussions of the penalty they are set to face. The team was recently affixed with a fine of $7m and a 10 percent wind tunnel time reduction for the upcoming season. Speaking at Saturday’s FIA press conference ahead of the , Mercedes reacted to Red Bull's 'draconian' penalty: “It’s not as big as the penalty if your position is two places higher. So I think describing it as draconian is an exaggeration. Reducing the number of runs does limit your freedom when developing a concept, but we’re in reasonably well-explored regulations now. But you definitely have to be more efficient.” Red Bull have been given a $7m fine and 10% reduction in wind tunnel time for 2023 because of their budget cap breach.The percentage wind tunnel time for the top 3 teams for the 2023 is:
