#AMuS | The relatively mild penalty is based on the fact that Red Bull Racing cooperated with the auditors and FIA.

The financial rules are new and complex and RBR didn't act in bad faith that their interpretation of the costs was correct.
Additionally, Red Bull have incorrectly filed a £1.4 million tax break to their detriment. This means that the budget limit would only be exceeded by £432,652 or 0.37%.
If the cost cap is exceeded by less than 5%, the offense falls into the "Minor violation of the rules" category and can therefore only be punished to a limited extent.
The fact that RBR accepted the penalty further reduced the range of possible sanctions.
