Red Bull's team principal, Christian Horner, has accused Toto Wolff of 'hugely defamatory, fictitious claims' and threatened legal action against Mercedes.

He insisted he believes his team were within the budget cap set at $145m last year and adamant he would be willing to take action against the comments from rival teams. When the budget cap was imposed it was intended to be the first step in creating a level playing field in the sport, allowing the smaller team to begin the process of closing toward the big three. “I have full confidence in Mohammed, in the way he has conducted himself to this point in terms of being strict and being clear with the rules,” Hamilton said. That said, any breach has yet to be confirmed and the FIA will not comment while it makes its assessment with the conclusions on the teams’ cost submissions expected on Wednesday. Leclerc led the way on the final runs and Hamilton, pushing hard, could not match him but Verstappen, as the last man racing, was on a lap challenging for pole only to be told to pit. A failure to do so would have resulted in him starting at the back of the grid.

That gives Leclerc a good chance to win his fourth race of the season. “It’s quite disappointing to miss out by two hundredths but at the end of the day I think they did a fantastic job. Hamilton said he has a doctor’s letter showing all this and stewards accepted his explanation after reviewing footage. The summons related to Hamilton’s nose stud, which he had previously removed when the FIA’s jewelry ban was applied. It was so difficult to get that lap perfect.” “Of course you learn from it, but this is really bad. “A really clean qualifying session. “I am not happy at all at the moment, I know of course it is always a team effort and I can make mistakes, and the team can make mistakes, but it is never acceptable,” he said. Drivers can be disqualified if they don't have enough fuel left in the tank, which would have meant starting from last place.

Toto Wolff and Christian Horner have clashed over allegations that Red Bull breached spending cap rules, shining a spotlight on the regulations that were ...

If you fraudulently breach the financial regulations, you will be losing your championship. No overspend has been allowed for the 2021 season. A reduction of a team's cost cap is another potential sanction. However, nobody has openly called for such a punishment at this stage. However, when the cost cap was announced in 2019, F1's managing director Ross Brawn said: "This has teeth. That is an open secret in the paddock." He also claims they are using used parts and have significantly reduced development in order to comply. The FIA have insisted any breaches would be "dealt with" according to the regulations, but also insisted that the current speculation around Red Bull is "unsubstantiated". There is a possibility that constructors' and drivers' championship points could be deducted, or the team could be suspended or excluded from a championship completely. If a team has overspent by more than five per cent, it would be regarded as a "major" or "material" breach and the punishments are likely to be harsher. Wolff claims that minor breaches could allow teams to spend an extra £7m - and that if the penalties are light, then all teams would be willing to break the rules in future. An overspend of less than five per cent would be considered a "minor" breach of the rules and would carry less severe penalties.

Formula 1 has been rocked over the past couple of days as word of potential breaches of the 2021 FIA financial regulations began to spread.

Fernando Alonso will make F1 history in Singapore when he lines up on the Marina Bay grid for his 350th start – surpassing Kimi Raikkonen as the outright ...

He was at the time he was winning with Renault and I think he is today. I think that was the beginning of Fernando’s sheer determination to go and show what he could do. “Fernando was stuck in the pit box the whole time because of mechanical issues, but they managed to get his car out for one run at the end of the day. “I think he is the best driver in the world. I was in a team principals’ meeting and he and his race engineer couldn’t agree, and the race engineer put more fuel in the car. I think the most impressive thing was that he could be fast for 100% of the race, and it’s rare to see drivers who can do that.” It was one of his best qualities, that even if the balance was not good he could manage to be fast in adapting his driving style, and you don’t [often] see that around [with other drivers]. Alongside Alonso for the most part of his debut season was Tarso Marques, who had already competed for Minardi in 1996 and 1997. “Throughout that year, Fernando proved time and time again that he could put an uncompetitive car in a competitive position. “Once Fernando got into the pit lane and out of the car, everyone was hugging him and grabbing him, and they were just elated that he’d managed to achieve that. We had a very short timeframe to put the whole team together, which was six weeks and three days from when I acquired it to when we had to fly to Melbourne [for the first race]. Indeed, manager Flavio Briatore agreed to let Minardi run Alonso for his debut F1 campaign, ahead of a planned promotion to the Benetton-Renault team run by the Italian.

Red Bull team boss Christian Horner did not hold back when responding to the speculation that the team exceeded Formula One's budget cap during the 2021 ...

So this is an issue for the FIA to deal with but also an issue for Red Bull to consider what our position is with those comments that have been made.” The submission between the team and the FIA is one that is confidential. And as far as we understand, there’s a team in minor breach, which is more procedural, and another team that is fundamentally massively over and that is that is being still looked after.” Horner had previously stated that Red Bull did not exceed the cap, and when asked about it, Wolff said to Currently, there’s speculation that two teams exceeded the cap, and reports ahead of the Singapore Grand Prix weekend claimed Red Bull may be one of the two teams. He went as far as to call the comments “fictitious claims” and that “they’re hugely defamatory” during Saturday’s press conference.

The start of Formula 1's Singapore Grand Prix at the Marina Bay street circuit has been delayed by a thunderstorm.

It is unclear how late the race can run until if there are any further delays from additional rain. Thunderstorms had already hit the Marina Bay area on Saturday as well. But the radar also indicates a strong chance of thunderstorms all the way through the evening.

Kevin Magnussen holds the lap record for the Singapore Grand Prix, but it seems unlikely that it will be improved upon in today's race.

They are more powerful, sure, but circuits where a high-downforce setup is required, like Singapore, take the power advantage almost entirely away. Needless to say, Magnussen looks good in a car that is not very competitive, which only fuels speculation that he could maybe - MAYBE - be on course to put his name next to the fastest lap of the race. The Haas F1 car is not the fastest on the grid. But the 2022 F1 cars are slower than their immediate predecessors, especially around twisty tracks. And yes, even the sparks from the titanium plates underneath the cars scraping on the track look at their best. Yesterday's qualifying delivered plenty of drama and shocking moments, but we're expecting even more in the race.

Lewis Hamilton made a rare mistake on Lap 33 and thudded into the crash barrier. Verstappen made a mistake after the second safety car restart, following AlphaTauri driver Yuki Tsunoda’s crash on Lap 36. Soon after, the leading drivers changed tires in a flurry of stops. The race start was delayed from 8 p.m. That could happen next weekend at the Japanese GP. Verstappen had won the past five races but needed to win here and finish 22 points ahead of Leclerc to be crowned champion for a second straight season.

Sergio Pérez won for the second time this season with Charles Leclerc second, Max Verstappen seventh and Lewis Hamilton in ninth.

His tyres were shot and he was forced to pit for new rubber and emerged from fifth place in 14th at the back of the field. Yet the win he required was long gone as his teammate closed out his victory with calm assurance. Hamilton stopped, too, for a new front wing and rubber, and Verstappen followed a lap later. This was Pérez’s first win at the Singapore GP and the fourth of his career. He managed to keep going and rejoined in front of Verstappen in fifth but with a damaged front wing. He had a poor start and then dropped places trying too hard to make up a position in the latter stages, making an error that was even more costly.

Crash.net F1 journalist Connor McDonagh runs through the field's driver ratings after the 2022 Singapore Grand Prix.

He was completely faultless in terms of the incident. Esteban Ocon blamed a brake-related issue for his surprise Q1 exit in Singapore. An easy mistake given the conditions but a costly one given AlphaTauri’s tight fight with Haas and Aston Martin. He then took to the escape road while trying to overtake Bottas, while a clumsy clash with Schumacher resulted in a puncture. However, not for the first time this year, Magnussen picked up damage on the opening lap, ruining his chances of scoring points. Valtteri Bottas’ wet weather struggles continued in qualifying as he was knocked out in Q1.

Ricciardo was very fortunate by the timing of the Safety Car, allowing him to jump a host of midfield cars.

He was able to continue but dropped to P8 and after pitting to shed flat-spotted tyres for new softs he rejoined in P14. Pérez pitted from the lead and after taking on medium tyres he was able to comfortably rejoin in the lead. After the race the Mexican driver was handed a repirmand and a five-second for falling more than 10 car lengths behind the Safety Car. The Briton was able to carry but fell back between fourth-placed Lando Norris and Verstappen in sixth. In the second decision, the stewards said that the Red Bull driver had ignored a warning from race direction to close the gap and as such was handed the five-second penalty. Behind Vettel, Hamilton finished ninth and the final point on offer went to Pierre Gasly. Following the race he was summoned to the stewards and handed a reprimand and a five-second time penalty for safety car infringements, but with a 7.5s gap to Leclerc, kept his win. Further back Verstappen bogged down at the start and dropped to P12. The Dutchman rose steadily through the order after a poor start but then was forced to battle back from 14th after a late-race lock-up. He was freed on lap 21, however, when Alonso suffered and engine failure and steered his Alpine up an escape road.
