Massive news if it is in fact found to be correct
I listened to a podcast by the guys at The-Race, it sounds like all of the teams are pretty pissed.
Toto made a good point. Mercedes made 40 staff redundant to get their budget under the cap.
The rumored 7m breach would have kept them all employed.
If they are found guilty, it has to be more than a slap on the wrist, or else the whole budget cap principle is a farce.
I am certainly not saying they should take verstappens championship or anything like that. But if they did breach. I would expect a combination of a fine, restricted wind tunnel time, and maybe some constructors points stripped.
Starting 8th with Leclerc on pole.
so with the outlap there was a very big possibilty he was too low on fuel according regulations .. so they had to abort despite Max was 0,9 sec faster at his last lap attempt .. Max pissed , as who would not be at that moment
Asked if he's concerned about the stewards. Replied with "it's a health issue, so I don't know".

Did he not make up any spots or did he and something happened that resulted in him going back down the grid?

The results of all ten team’s financial audits related to 2021 expenditure were expected today, but will instead be released on Monday after the Japanese Grand Prix at Suzuka this weeeknd.
The FIA released the following statement on their website:
“The FIA informs that the conclusion of the analysis of the 2021 financial submissions of the Formula 1 teams and the subsequent release of Certificates of Compliance to the Financial Regulations will not take place on Wednesday, 5 October.
“The analysis of financial submissions is a long and complex process that is ongoing and will be concluded to enable the release of the Certificates on Monday, 10 October.
The Financial Regulations were agreed unanimously by all Competitors, who have worked positively and collaboratively with the FIA Cost Cap Administration throughout this first year under the Financial Regulations.
“As previously communicated, there has been significant and unsubstantiated speculation and conjecture in relation to this matter, and the FIA reiterates that until it is finalised, no further information will be provided.
“The FIA also reiterates that any suggestion that FIA personnel have disclosed sensitive information is equally baseless,” concluded the statement.
No doubt that final sentence to calm the stormy seas of outrageous speculation that has engulfed the F1 paddock since word leaked from the FIA that there were irregularities found.
Horner versus Wolff sparring again with allegations and counter-allegations over F1 cost cap
Wolff: Horner F1 cost cap
Ahead, of today’s expected, announcement a war of words broke out between Red Bull boss Christian Horner and his Mercedes counterpart Toto Wolff. The latter claimed knowledge of F1 cost cap breaches by their rivals.
Horner, in turn, questioned how this information managed to get to Wolff before the compliance certificates were released, who said it was “an open secret” that Red Bull has overspent, prompting Red Bull to threaten legal action at what he termed “defamatory” remarks, suggesting a leak in the FIA’s audit process.
Ferrari have weighed in on the F1 cost cap saga, the Italian team – also big spenders at times – watching with interest at what is a critical test for the budget control rules which many believe are unenforceable.
The Scuderia’s racing director Laurent Mekies warned: “Pretty much one of the main reason why we are we are banging about transparency and severity because if it turns out to be something that a team can bet on in order to gain a competitive advantage then the whole system collapses.
“This is why especially in the framework of the very first instance of the budget cap being challenged, you need that amount of severity,” explained Mekies, in other words, if this first audit fails to convince the F1 world that a F1 cost cap can be policed effectively, then the entire (well-intended) concept has failed.
Even if Leclerc finishes 2nd this weekend and then went on to win all the remaining races, grab the fastest lap at each race, win the sprint race in Brazil, he could only tie Verstappen in points, and Verstappen would win the championship as the tie breaker is most wins in the season.
Championship points scenarios for Max to win the championship this weekend.
