The 2022 F1 campaign was an immensely successful one for the Red Bull F1 Team as they were able to get their hands on the Drivers as well as the Constructors Championship.
However, despite the team’s triumph, this year was dominated by headlines regarding Red Bull going over the budget cap limit for the 2021 F1 season.
For not operating within the budget cap limit, Red Bull was slapped with a hefty fine and also got a decent chunk of time deducted from its 2023 wind tunnel testing.
