“They Had No Food. All I Wanted Was A Sandwich”: Amid Recent Budget Cap Drama, Statement Made By $50 Million Worth Celebrity About “Jail” Like Red Bull Hospitality Treatment Deserves a Quick Revisit

As the world of F1 and Red Bull Racing were still celebrating Max Verstappen’s second F1 title victory, FIA hit them with cost cap breach information. The statement from the F1’s governing body comes a day after Red Bull won the Japanese Grand Prix in Suzuka. This brings us back to the comments an American DJ made about Red Bull a few months back.

While F1 was in the United States for the inaugural Miami Grand Prix earlier this season, famous American DJ Diplo shared his personal experience. Diplo stated that he didn’t like the hospitality he received in the Red Bull suite. The VIP box was so bad that he had to leave the place.

Talking about this, $50 million worth DJ/Producer conveyed, “It was this bad box, like a jail.”

He further shared, “Also, they had no food, and all I wanted was a sandwich, so I left.”

There is another food row that has come up after the Bulls authority stated that some expenses were made for catering after Red Bull had reportedly breached 2021 budget cap regulations.

Red Bull Racing is surprised and disappointed over the cost cap findings

As the budget cap news surfaced online, the Austrian team shared their reaction to it. Stating the situation as surprising and disappointing, the Milton-Keynes-based team has shared their thoughts on social media.

Furthermore, the team from Austria is certain that they complied with the financial rules and regulations set out by the FIA. In a post on Twitter, the Austrian team stated, “We note the findings by the FIA of ‘minor overspend breaches of the financial regulations’ with surprise and disappointment.

“Our 2021 submission was below the cost cap limit, so we need to carefully review the FIA’s findings, as our belief remains that the relevant costs are under the 2021 cost cap amount. Despite the conjuncture and postponing of others, there is of course a process under the regulations with the FIA which we will respectfully follow while we consider all the options available to us,” the statement further conveyed.
