The FIA are not due to announce whether any team have exceeded the £114million spending limit until Wednesday, but Mercedes and Ferrari have implied that their bitter rivals have done so. Red Bull team principal Christian Horner has threatened to start legal proceedings over the accusations, insisting the remarks are ‘defamatory’ and ‘inaccurate’. He said last night he was ‘not nervous at all’ as he awaits the results of the FIA’s financial auditing.

Just keep your mouths shut.’ Any team found in breach of the cost cap could face punishments ranging from a reprimand to the docking of drivers’ and constructors’ points. Max Verstappen will have to wait to confirm his championship win after an eventful evening Mercedes principal Toto Wolff had a dig at his rival suggesting he talk to his financial advisor while Horner was 'taken aback' by suggestions from Ferrari's Mattia Binotto (right) But Horner added: ‘We will consider all our options. It was totally unacceptable to make an unfounded allegation and on the basis of what? Where is this source of information? It was a confidential submission. I have no idea of the compliance of any of our rivals. ‘We need to complete the entire process. These are brand-new regulations which are highly complicated. 'And, of course, there are different interpretations. So it will be interesting to see how this is applied.’ Helmut Marko (centre) previously suggested the allegations were damaging their reputation Share or comment on this article: All rights reserved for this news site (dailymail) and under his responsibility
