The end to the 2022 F1 season was a surprising one. Max Verstappen claimed the championship at the Japanese Grand Prix, making it his second consecutive title in a row. However, the drama has not ended there have been reports from the FIA that Red Bull and Aston Martin are two teams which breached the budget cap during the 2021 F1 season.

The fans were surprised to hear this news, especially the fact that Aston Martin went over budget since they were unable to produce a race-winning car last year. They have come up with hilarious and absurd theories as to what caused the team to go over the budget cap despite being unable to produce a championship-winning car.

Aston Martin placed 7th in last year’s constructors’ championship with a total of 77 points and were beaten by AlphaTauri by almost double their points. The fans were surprised to see the team’s poor performance despite the ridiculous amount of money they spent developing their car.
