F1 needs more parity because, while I've been watching for about 10 years and love the pinnacle of racecraft on display, I cannot accept that the season was over three (3) races ago.

DO BETTER LIBERTY / FIA

Thanks for listening.

No one knows yet. Sounds like RBR and Aston for sure went over the cap, Ferrari maybe. Penalties could be a slap on the wrist to losing WCC points to loss of wind tunnel time. No one really knows because the powers that be get to choose


Just saw the update AM and RB are the likely culprits.

And crazy that there isn’t an established penalty.

F1 teams can figure out how to manipulate a fixed penalty. send it to a biased panel and you never know what you get.


It sounds like Aston is a minor breach, maybe an accounting error.

RBR went over by more than 5%.

Would be interesting for RBR to lose wind tunnel time or have this years budget (or 2023) altered to adjust.

In the end I think they dock them 10 WCC points and public reprimand. Which means teams will just break the cap from now on.

If they are indeed over they need to be hit with severe points penalties. Money doesn't matter much to the big 3 as they were spending 2-3 times the budget cap previously. They only care about winning titles. Take that away and it will end any hijinks with the cap.

Busting the cap one year can have long term beneficial effects, so a slap on the wrist will solve nothing.

Toto was obviously being dramatic in his interview, but his point about this was dead on.

They broke the limit last year which puts them ahead this year, and since we are so far along they will be ahead next year. So 2024 is the earliest any kind of equalizing penalty makes a difference.

Don't know the answer on how to penalize. Certainly doesn't help that the team that busted the cap is heads and shoulders above the other teams.

This track makes me sick. Feel like I am on a tunnel. Could be the hangover.

Leclerc asks for slicks and Ferrari says you can have more inters. Best we can do
