Formula 1: Haas’ Guenther Steiner hits back at Red Bull boss Christian Horner: The team principal of Haas Guenther Steiner hits back at Red Bull’s team principal Christian Horner for attempting to increase the F1 budget cap which is $145 million at the moment. Follow Formula 1 Live Updates on InsideSport.IN.
Steiner feels that big teams should keep a check on their budget cap and get it under control. “I think there are nine teams who are very happy about it [if Red Bull has to miss races] because they don’t get any money next year and we can divide it. For sure Ferrari will be happy if they don’t come to the last four races!”

“I think my solution is I need to make work one way or another, And I think most of the team principals have the same instructions,” Steiner added.
Cargo and power costs have almost significantly increased contrasted with last year, which as per Mercedes team principal Wolff has cost its group an extra 8 million pounds.
That implies F1’s greatest groups have an issue on their hands to meet the expense cap, with financial plans set well before the monetary slump started, and Red Bull’s Christian Horner even recommended his group would need to miss races in the event that it needed to try not to go over the ongoing cap.

Haas’ team principal Steiner, whose group is as yet working up towards the financial plan limit instead of downsizing, says the expense cap has previously further developed the opposition decisively and thinks it really depends on the greatest spenders to return their spending plan to normal.
He further added, “It’s mixing it up, I think as I always said short-term nothing will change but mid to long-term I think it will get even closer together. But therefore, we shouldn’t now change the budget cap and up it because this is actually good for the racing in the midfield now.”
“You never know who is best of the rest. And I think if we continue with the budget cap, and with the rules, it will get even closer together to the big guys. I mean, we all have to make it. I don’t have a job if I tell my boss I don’t make it to the end of the season. That’s my job. We need to do because if you don’t finish the season, the next year you don’t get any money,” Steiner concluded.
