Emphasizing that the Milton Keynes-based team should be appropriately "punished" for any breach of regulation, he said: “The ladies and gentlemen of the FIA must now face a detailed investigation of how this is even possible. If Red Bull has really broken the rules, it should be punished according to its proportionality. But what the FIA did there doesn’t work at all. Imagine if the Ministry of Finance always kept certain companies up to date on the current status of investigations against the competition. That would even be criminal. Everything must be disclosed transparently and in the event of an offense the ladies or gentlemen of the FIA must be punished accordingly.”

The FIA confirmed that Red Bull were in of the "Procedural and Minor Overspend Breaches of the Financial Regulations". Speaking to F1-Insider, Marko claimed that the team continues to deny any such accusations, whilst emphasizing that Max Verstappen is unlikely to lose his maiden title. He said: “I don’t want to say too much, just this much. We still believe that we didn’t break the cost cap rule at all. Discussions with the FIA are ongoing. Let’s see what finally comes out of it.” “As I said we are still not aware of any guilt, which is why discussions with the FIA are still ongoing. But rumours Max could lose his World title in 2021, for example, are complete nonsense. The past has shown that even extreme violations of the regulations were punished very mildly by the FIA.” Teams in compliance: Mercedes, Ferrari, McLaren, Alpine, AlphaTauri, Alfa Romeo, Williams, HaasTeams in procedural breach: Aston Martin
