Oh come on now. Alonso/Renault didn't do that to benefit Hamilton. It was the same for both drivers in the Championship.

It was $2.2m in one year. And the second year it was minor.
It's the same kind of shit we are mad about 115FC for. And what Everton got docked points for...
So yeah..
If you want to justify it. Go ahead, but don't be mad at PSR breaches.
Both cases show the rules were not followed.
There was quite a clear analysis that about 90% of the breach was actually an accounting error / misclassified spending making the actual breach about 200k
It’s even in an article by Formula 1.
Horner on why he feels Red Bull’s Cost Cap breach penalties were 'draconian' – and why his team have accepted them | Formula 1®
On Friday in Mexico City, Red Bull's Christian Horner spoke about the penalty handed to his team for breaching the Financial Regulations.
www.formula1.com
“Red Bull were found to have exceeded the 2021 Cost Cap by less than 5%, specifically 1.6%, with the FIA having acknowledged that the team did not correctly report their Notional Tax Credit, which would have meant they exceeded the Cost Cap by 0.37%.”
Zero comparisons to Man City’s breaches, that’s such an amusing stretch

How is it zero comparisons? You either cooked the books, or you didn't.
Red Bull did.
But it's clear you are a red bull fan, much the same as a City fan who defends their 115 charges.
I think its quite the opposite as they overstated their breach through an error, rather than understated it through error. Not sure if you have grasped that part yet? Happy to wait for it to sink in.
Do you think the breach (200k) was material enough to go around screaming "asterisk asterisk"? It was less that the cost of a front wing. I work in catering, which is why I am so defensive about the breach (which I haven't denied once)
To be honest, I say 2 time world champion to wind up Red Bull fans.
And it works.
A breach is a breach though, and they got punished for it (regardless of whether we think it was a fair penalty).
Horner with his draconian bullshit.
It should be 3 time world champion. But I'll continue with 2 time every time a RB fan pipes up.
It's just a shame Max ran away with it at the start. The rest was all about Engine management and cap management. Turn it up and down as required.
Remember the cap was brought in to curb teams running away with it (hasn't always worked).
It's one of those that stats are misleading, although I have liked it other have been winning, you couldn't quite shake the feeling that Max wasn't in full throttle set up.
Agree that he's miles above Checo, who rightly will be dumped at the end of the season.
I think the better measure than the cost cap is the dev time given to teams. This is why McLaren is now so good, and it is why we are seeing cars like Alpine and VCARB appearing higher up the order.
I don't know much about the 2026 regs, but I am enjoying the shake up that the current ones are having after a couple of seasons of the changes filtering through.
I think RB are actually helped by Checo being shit because they will get that dev advantage, although minor challenge in that Horny Horner's escapades mean there is a lack of top talent in the warehouse.

Lol - I'll be ordering a croissant next time I see you 🙂
Yesterday's race was a fun watch - but how shambolic was that from FIA to leave the wing mirror out, knowing it will shatter glass everywhere if it gets hit.
Ruined quite a few races - Sainz & Lewis directly with the puncture, Lando indirectly due to the yellow flag only on the straight which I'd say is easy to miss at that speed when you can see the track doesn't have any cars on it that would cause a flag.
More woes for Perez, surely AD is his last race in the big boy car.

Max not very classy
George applauding Lewis after he overtook him on the outside of turn 9 - very classy
