Should personal accountability be the way forward in the future for the F1 cost cap?
Brundle believes Red Bull team boss Christian Horner and the team’s CFO should personally be held responsible for the breach, as even a minor overspend could give a team a healthy advantage.
Asked on the latest edition of Any Driven Monday is a minor overspend is ‘actually quite a big deal’, former F1 driver Brundle replied: “Yeah, it could be a new front wing or floor or something like that.”He reckons most of the teams would have probably done a bit of creative accounting, although perhaps not Mercedes given that team principal Toto Wolff would be beholden, probably through a legal document, to a code of conduct.
“But I think also, and it’s a good thing, that the corporate governance of somebody like Mercedes-Benz, for example, is such that they just can’t be seen to be breaching something like this.“I like to think, and I understand it to be the case, that somebody like Toto has to sign a document to comply with there and Christian Horner at Red Bull and all the key personnel, all the financial personnel, should be personally locked into this.
“I think that’s a critical area so that they’re personally responsible and accountable, as well as their company in being transparent and honest and accurate with these numbers.”
