An audit has found "discrepancies" in relation to Red Bull's Formula 1 budget during 2010's resource restriction agreement.
Earlier in 2010, Red Bull team boss Christian Horner denied claims the team flouted the Fota-governed cost savings agreement by as much as R634m in 2010.
Autosprint said the suspicion was that Red Bull broke the agreement by filing contentious information about its structure and workforce.
BUDGET PROBE
The magazine cited "sources" in claiming Red Bull figures tried to stop the audit because it was "an invasion of privacy" requiring the release of "sensitive data".
The report said Fota, headed by McLaren's Martin Whitmarsh, wanted clarification at a meeting this week even though "at the moment there is no mention of any penalties".
Autosprint also questioned the timing of the emergence of the story, given that Red Bull was about to win the Drivers' and Constructors' World championships for the second season in a row.
