Reacting to today's claim by the FIA that it breached the 2021 budget cap, Red Bull has expressed "surprise and disappointment" at the finding.

The reaction comes as the sport waits on the FIA to announce what action will be taken against the Austrian team for the overspent which is thought to be around $2m.

"We note the findings by the FIA of 'minor overspend breaches of the financial regulations' with surprise and disappointment," read a statement from the Milton Keynes-based outfit.

"Our 2021 submission was below the cost cap limit, so we need to carefully review the FIA's findings as our belief remains that the relevant costs are under the 2021 cost cap amount.

"Despite the conjecture and positioning of others, there is of course a process under the regulations with the FIA which we will respectfully follow while we consider all the options available to us."

Having already threatened action against Mercedes and Ferrari for their def(l)amatory claims, it remains to be seen whether Red Bull might now be considering targeting the FIA.

"@anyone…. Have I missed the detailed FIA release on this, or is it simply that they have released nothing more, and hope we all stop typing about it…?"

"@ Max and Editor....Might I suggest a virtual night out at a similar venue as that of which one of my very favourite musician / lyricists [JJ Cale ] decribed as 'Fat Jack owns a honky tonk downtown' Obviously attending would be the 'Zeus' [ god of gods ] of the guitar world Eric clapton accompanied by Tal Winkenfeld, Jeff Becks protegee, and of course the indefatigable Albert Lee. 'You can tear down the roof, you can tear down the walls, Fat Jack he don't care at all' Wow, what a night to remember that would be!"

"@ Editor...Yes, Wardour St. was simply the 'club hub' in London for a couple of decades. The '60's when I lived in London, on and off,were simply the greatest and I was very fortunate to be there on and off for 10 years. I also attended many of the 'folk music clubs in the district as well. One venue which I always supported was the ' Troubador, in Old Bromton Rd and what a rich catalogue of performers did the business there! They were great years that will never be repeated. I also was able to spend much time in London during the eighties and up the mid nineties on business and my old boss was the quite famous ex EMI A&R director who ran the Floyd and Queen. That's a story for another day over a Louis Latour at the White Elephant Club!!!"

"@ Kenji

Funny enough, I am back in Soho on Friday, and among others I will be visiting that particular pub, The Ship in Wardour Street, just along from where the legendary Marquee Club used to be.

No anniversaries this time around, though 50 years ago on Friday, Mouldy Old Dough was Number 1 and it just so happens I used to have it as a ring tone and it is still on my phone.

While I'm on the subject, the Marquee Club is long gone - Google it - likewise Trident Studio where Transformer and many other great albums were made. "

"@alvarezh3 - Multi-21….

@spindoctor - what 2021 season…? ;-)

@Kenji - actually we need to turn this into “MusicPass” rather than PitPass given we all love our music… Esteemed Editor Balfe… Should we have a music reference in every article…!? :-) Especially given your weekly news letter the other week… :-)"

"I rather suspect that by the time the assorted Lawyers etc. have finished arguing & FIA\Liberty have finished dissembling, the 2021\22 seasons will have passed into not particularly fond memory.

"Slightly off topic, but on the same lines and freshly baked!

NASCAR has just fined Stewarrt-Hass Racing US$200K for "race manipulation" of last weekend's Charlotte race."
