I agree with everything you said.
Your last paragraph is why it isn't an option.
It's crazy to think that the sanctions aren't already in place so everyone knows exactly what to expect when rules are broken.

“If you fraudulently breach the financial regulations, you will lose your championship. There will be serious consequences for the teams that break these regulations. How will we have control over expenses? We have a very strong team of financial experts within the FIA and F1 and we sought external support. The new rules are essential for the well-being of F1.”
That was Ross Brawn in 2019. I guess the key word there is 'fraudulently'.
The worst penalty I can imagine is them having WCC constructor points removed from last season which makes zero difference to anything.

Thing is, they knew they were in a tight spot earlier in the year.

Thank you buddy.
Calculated risk to stay below the 5% I suppose.Thing is, they knew they were in a tight spot earlier in the year.

Realistically from 145m that is, again, less than 5m (or even less, reportedly).
One crash/malfunction and that's that. Even if everything is tightly calculated, one incident gets it to hell anyway.
I get what people are saying but honestly that's how it works for any scenario with a cap, even for Everton where we probably have a self-imposed cap of sorts (and now an actual one thanks to FFP et al).
Apparently RB are disputing as they believe their numbers were in line btw.
Red Bull 'surprised, disappointed' by FIA F1 cost cap breach verdict
Red Bull Racing has expressed its 'surprise and disappointment' at being found to have breached Formula 1's cost cap in 2021 by the FIA.

The thing is maybe some things changed prices (by the book? Who knows how exactly this works lol ) and all, that maybe also pushed them over the line - very realistic if they had calculated to the penny, so to say. F1 isn't exactly a cheap sport, and parts/systems have a "range" of prices - if the FIA deem that, let's say, hydraulics cost 2m, but RB have paid 1m - that's a 1mil+ difference. That's why they'll dispute I assume. Or maybe I'm talking out of my arse, as this is pure speculation on my part lol
Realistically I believe the FIA might also give a penalty for this year's races... but I doubt it honestly. Likely to be "up for review with the FIA Cost Cap panel" for the foreseeable anyway. Doubt anything comes of it.

Pretty much how I expected the game to go C. Spuds are a good side and we are a work in progress. No shame losing to Spuds at their place.

Red Bull breach 'constitutes cheating' - McLaren boss
McLaren boss Zak Brown writes a letter to F1's governing body saying Red Bull breaking the budget cap "constitutes cheating".
www.bbc.co.uk
McLaren F1 boss Zak Brown has written a letter to governing body the FIA in which he says Red Bull breaking the budget cap "constitutes cheating".
Brown calls for penalties that will hit Red Bull financially and on the track.
"Any team who have overspent have gained an unfair advantage both in the current and following year's car development," he writes
Brown's letter does not mention Red Bull or Aston Martin by name, which is apparently an attempt to make it clear he is expressing his views about any potential cost-cap breach.
However, it does directly reference the offences announced last week.
Brown praises the FIA's work on the cost cap, and says policing it is "critical" to the sport's future.
He suggests any team guilty of an overspend should be hit with a fine equal to double the amount by which they have breached the cap, and for a reduction in their permitted research and development next year.
He writes: "The overspend breach, and possibly the procedural breaches, constitute cheating by offering a significant advantage across technical, sporting and financial regulations.
"The FIA has run an extremely thorough, collaborative and open process. We have even been given a one-year dress rehearsal (in 2020), with ample opportunity to seek any clarification if details were unclear. So, there is no reason for any team to now say they are surprised.
"The bottom line is any team who has overspent has gained an unfair advantage both in the current and following year's car development.
"We don't feel a financial penalty alone would be a suitable penalty for an overspend breach or a serious procedural breach. There clearly needs to be a sporting penalty in these instances, as determined by the FIA.
"We suggest that the overspend should be penalised by way of a reduction to the team's cost cap in the year following the ruling, and the penalty should be equal to the overspend plus a further fine - ie an overspend of $2m in 2021, which is identified in 2022, would result in a $4m deduction in 2023 ($2m to offset the overspend plus $2m fine).
"For context, $2m is (a) 25-50% upgrade to (an) annual car-development budget and hence would have a significant positive and long-lasting benefit.
"In addition, we believe there should be minor overspend sporting penalties of a 20% reduction in CFD and wind tunnel time. These should be enforced in the following year, to mitigate against the unfair advantage the team has and will continue to benefit from."
The more this rumbles on, the more I suspect it'll end up being whitewashed.
