Red Bull Racing, whose single-seaters are equipped with an engine Renault, recognizes that the V8 of Viruses-Châtillon is the only possible solution to power the Milton Keynes single-seaters. “ Where could we go? », replies Adrian Newey, technical director of Red Bull Racing, to Sport Bild. “ McLaren prevented us from getting the motor Mercedes. So all that would remain Ferrari. But if we beat them, will we have the same specifications (engine) as the Ferrari team? »

After several seasons of collaboration with Renault, Newey says he is satisfied with the work done by the Losange firm, the Viry V8 “having always responded to the requests” of RBR. But the technical director believes that the freeze on engine development F1, to which “ strongly adhered » Renault, could have done Red Bull a disservice. “ Which means today that we are behind Ferrari and Mercedes, adds Newey.. And if Renault cannot keep up, I can very well imagine changing engine suppliers. »
