Red Bull is allegedly flirting with a change of engine supplier, according to reports in Germamy.
Helmut Marko has told Sport Bild that the reigning world champion team will assess the progress made by current supplier Renault at the time of their home Austrian Grand Prix at the Red Bull Ring in June.
“We have to decide on our future engine partner then,” he said. A partnership with Mercedes has already been ruled out, and becoming a customer of another arch-rival, Ferrari, must also be seen as highly unlikely.
Hmmmm!
One presumes that he must have been talking to different manufacturers.
Another engine supplier would be great news, from a competition perspective.
However, it would likely make each engine cost more, as payment would come from a reduced number of teams.
Methinks that Renault had better get their act together pretty quick 😉
