Honda with Red Bull – Ron Dennis would be against

While the Honda possibility for the engine supply in 2016 of Red Bull has emerged since the start of the Austin weekend, Bernie Ecclestone indicated in the United States that Ron Dennis would be a brake for an agreement between the two parties.

Honda returned as the exclusive engine manufacturer of McLaren this season, and faces a complicated 2015 campaign in the development of its Power Unit V6 turbo / hybrid, but the Japanese would not be against supplying Red Bull, which according to Ecclestone would be in line with an agreement made with the FIA ​​to supply one team the first year, then two the second.

"It seems Honda is happy to give them an engine, and Mr. Dennis thinks they shouldn't,
commented the Briton, cited by Reuters. But they kind of made a commitment to Ron like he had a right of veto and he doesn't want Red Bull. I don't know if his veto will be taken into account. »

Red Bull is still looking to secure a deal for 2016, having initially severed ties with Renault, then attempted to negotiate with Mercedes or even Ferrari.
