F1 LIVE: Will Max Verstappen lose his title? Red Bull awaits FIA decision on penalty today

Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff has suggested Red Bull's cost cap line could possibly be settled in court before insisting he trusts the FIA ​​to manage the situation accordingly.

The 50-year-old lobbied for Red Bull to be punished if he was found to be wrong and chose not to attend the Japanese Grand Prix in order to make his point.< /p>

"If the settlement agreement is not reached, either because the team does not want to do so or because the FIA ​​thinks it should go to the cost cap arbitration committee , then there's a panel of judges, independent judges, who are going to look at the settlements and the case and come to a conclusion whether they should be penalized or not," Wolff said, as reported by

"If the team isn't happy with the outcome, you can always go to the ICA and appeal to them, so it's a long process, but I think it's super solid in terms of governance. I have no doubt that it's going to be handled in the right way and transparent, unlike what we sometimes had in the past.

"Independent lawyers, maybe also judges, but people who have no involvement in Formula 1, people who have been presented as the best in their league."
