Red Bull and the FIA \u200b\u200bhave \u201cagreed on a penalty\u201d for the team’s budget cap infringement but the announcement has been postponed following the death of Dietrich Mateschitz.<\/strong><\/p>\n

That’s according to Auto Motor und Sport, the publication that broke the news of Red Bull’s budget cap breach.<\/p>\n

Ahead of the FIA’s report into last year’s teams’ spending, AMuS claimed that two teams \u2013 Red Bull and Aston Martin \u2013 had breached the cap that was set at $145 million.<\/p>\n

After weeks of speculation and a delay in releasing their findings, the FIA \u200b\u200bconfirmed that Red Bull had committed a ‘Minor Overspend Breach’ while Aston Martin’s infringement was a procedural one.<\/p>\n

Red Bull have denied this, Christian Horner hitting out at the \u201cabsolutely shocking\u201d accusations of \u201ccheating\u201d.<\/p>\n

However, it seems Red Bull are ready to hold up their hands \u2013 at least to some degree.<\/p>\n

The team has reportedly agreed to accept the FIA’s ‘Accepted Breach Agreement’ after finding consensus on the penalty.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs can now be heard,\u201d Auto Motor und Sport reported after Saturday’s qualifying at the Circuit of The Americas, \u201cthe cost cap administrators of the FIA \u200b\u200band Red Bull have agreed on a penalty behind the scenes.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was supposed to be communicated in Austin during the weekend but out of respect they will now wait a few days.\u201d<\/p>\n

The delay in the announcement is out of respect to Red Bull and the Mateschitz family, following the passing of Dietrich Mateschitz on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Team staff members were informed prior to qualifying that their founder had passed away age 78.<\/p>\n

It is not yet known when the penalty, and the full details of the ABA will be released.<\/p>\n
