Coulthard told Mirror Sport how the Austrian team and their team principal can be quite sensitive towards any criticism because it feels personal. He also explained how the media simply tries to interpret the entire story and try to look at all the events from their vantage point. He said:
The former Red Bull driver further delved deep into how everyone, including the media, is entitled to have their own opinions about the events. He further explained how other teams like McLaren, Mercedes, etc. can also be quite sensitive to criticism. David Coulthard also spoke about how Ferrari is always under observation from Italian fans and the media and how much criticism they must be getting, stating:
McLaren believes Red Bull’s cost cap breach punishment is good for F1 and the FIA
McLaren boss Zak Brown recently worded his thoughts on how Red Bull’s FIA-imposed penalty is good for the sport. He explained how these kinds of heavy punishments will force teams to take the cost cap more seriously. Eventually, every team will learn to adjust according to the tight budget and the sport will move forward.
Speaking on the Marshall Pruett podcast, Brown said:
The cost cap was updated at the start of the 2021 F1 season to bring teams closer to each other and promote better racing. Before a tighter cost cap, dominating teams were allowed to spend copious amounts of money on research and development, allowing them to easily win. The cost cap will further drop in the 2023 F1 season, making it harder for top teams, but giving slower teams a chance to compete ahead.
