MILTON KEYNES (Reuters) - Formula One's governing body must lay down the law on testing because a punishment handed out to Mercedes last week was too lenient to deter rule-breakers, Red Bull team principal Christian Horner said on Wednesday.

"They've deemed it illegal to test but the sanction for doing that test doesn't in our opinion fit the crime," he told Reuters in his office at the Red Bull factory in central England.
