That's the problem with the FIA. Can't set proper rules and are afraid to enforce them with strict penalties.

That's how F1 has always been, bend the rules in the grey zone and keep using the loopholes until the FIA cracks down on it. It makes the sport for the better.

All the other team have checked that operate in the UK have filed except RedBull. If they have nothing to hide and it’s only a minor breach then why not publish. Very very odd behaviour indeed.

They're not hiding anything, there are certain things that are in the grey zone that the FIA considers part of the budget cap that Redbull says it shouldn't be included as they interpreted it a different way. Sick leave and catering for example, as it was COVID year, I can imagine the amount of paid sick leave used for their employees.
