Alonso's silence after the boneheaded move from Stroll was telling - remind us where he's driving next year ? LOL

Some stuff came out on the Cost cap breach. Red bull apparently breached the 145Mil Euro cap despite turning in a 141 Mil return, so 4 under. But the FIA accounting nerds added back 5.8 mil.
Apparently 800K for an employee that is leaving for Aston that was moved from red bull to to redbull advanced technologies (where he never worked, but then again he wasn't working for redbull anymore either) - kinda seems fair maybe possibly ?

Then Redbull decided to offer free meals to its personnel at the factory cafeteria and got dinged for $1.2 mi there, hence the Toto quip about free sandwiches.

Finally some accounting on spare parts from 2021 reused on the 2022 car, totaling 1.4 mil.

I am truly not a Horner/Marko/Redbull fan in general but it does point to a small violation and doesn't seem super egregious on the first year of a new accounting system, honestly...They should get penalized obviously, but possibly not as hard as some wanted...
