British Formula One driver Lewis Hamilton of the Mercedes team remarked in a lecture to the International Automobile Racing Federation (Via).
This comes during preparation for the American Grand Prix, scheduled for tomorrow, Sunday, the first race to be held after Max Versaben, Red Bull, settled the World Formula-1 World Championship championship through the Japan race two weeks ago.
During the Red Ball team’s preparations for the American race, there is a lot of discussion regarding the potential punishments that the team could face because its budget for the previous season was capped at 114 million pounds (128 million dollars).
Although Via has not yet revealed details about the size of Red Paul’s budget over the last season, which saw Versaben crowned the World Championship title after his superiority by Hamilton, it was reported that the size of the budget ceiling exceeded 1.
8,000,000 pounds.
These infractions can result in a warning, a fine, or a deduction of points from the drivers’ standings in the world championship.
The world title from the previous season may tip the scales in the case that the penalty of points is applied.
Versaben triumphed in the Abu Dhabi race, which serves as the last stage of the world championship last season, and Hamilton lost the chance to hold the record for the most world championship victories, which he scored seven times.
However, according to the British Press Agency “BA Media,” the World Championships outcome is not anticipated to differ from last season.
Hamilton, 37, stated during his pre-race preparations for the American race in Austin, Texas, “I think something must be done towards this because if it relaxes on these rules, all the teams will surpass (the budget) and would spend additional millions.”
“Suffice to say, a slap on the wrist is not a nice thing in sports,” he continued. A budget ceiling might not exist in the future.
“I believe Muhammad bin Salim and his staff will make the best choices,” he concluded. I must have faith.
“I only pay attention to how well I complete my tasks and what they have already accomplished. I’m excited to see how I can reclaim the World Championship title, Hamilton continued.
Hamilton is unwilling to make concessions in response to the Red Ball team’s disregard for financial constraints.
