The internet is still trying to accept the fact that, as per reports, Red Bull Racing breached the 2021 cost cap. The statement regarding this comes a day after Max Verstappen picked up his second F1 championship in Japan. Amid all this, Rich Energy, the former Controversial Sponsor of Haas F1, made a defining statement regarding last year’s title, which was Verstappen’s first.

Rich Energy, who were partners to the Haas F1 team once, battles for Lewis Hamilton and Mercedes over Max Verstappen and Red Bull for the 2021 F1 championship. They believe that Hamilton and his team deserve the 2021 championship.

By sharing a video of Ross Brawn, managing director of F1, where he talks about the punishment for breaching the cost cap, Rich Energy tweeted, “An easy decision for the FIA now. It is imperative that the integrity of the great sport of Formula One is maintained.”

“Congratulations @LewisHamilton & @MercedesAMGF1 on a well deserved world title in 2021 #F1”
