McLaren CEO Zak Brown says he stands by his controversial letter to the FIA earlier this year suggesting that overspend breaches of Formula 1’s cost cap"constitute cheating".
“We’ve been on trial because of public accusations since Singapore,” he said at the United States Grand Prix. “You cannot go around just making that kind of allegation without any fact or substance. We absolutely are appalled at the behaviour of some of our competitors.”Photo by: Mark Sutton /But despite the controversy the wording of his letter caused, Brown says his views on the matter remain unchanged.
“If it's something within the sporting, financial, or technical regulations, a breach of the rules, I guess you could call it a couple of different things. Some people in a more simplistic manner would call it that.” “I think it all goes into performance. I don't think you can kind of have isolated selected elements and say it was this part that was out of the cap.”Brown also thinks is a little strange that Red Bull has repeatedly complained about being right at the limit, but then suggested its original submission last year was many millions of dollars under.
