So does the value of the 7 million dollar fine come out of their 2022 budget? How does the fine get counted against their annual budget?

Re: 2022 Dutch Grand Prix Race Thread
Red Bull have made the right calls and Mercedes have made the wrong calls every safety car. You would think after making the wrong calls again and again they would figure it out. But I then look at all the bad calls Ferrari keep making and I guess its not that easy.

That's why the antics of Mohammed bin Sulayem really upset me, it's like he is doin...

Re: Mercedes Lodge Multiple Protests Against Result
It feels like the result was manipulated and Hamilton was robbed by the safety car procedure. If he came in once the SC was first deployed for a new set of tyres, he would have come out behind Max. In that case, I feel that Masi would have delayed the restart and the race would have finished under t...
