With the new rules of the season 2021 certain shifts could also occur on engine market. Because at the end of 2020, the current contracts expire. For example, it is still unknown at this time whether it will be Honda even continued her engagement v Formulas 1. In McLaren could theoretically - so we can hear - returned to Mercedes engine.
All Andreas Seidl, team leader from Woking, he doesn't want to hear anything about it. “We are focusing on the architecture of Renault’s engine for 2020. This will also be the basis for everything we will do in November in terms of the 2021 season,”So German.
"The reason for our rise this season is also the step Renault has taken in terms of the performance of its engine. I am satisfied with this attitude and cooperation, as well as with how openly and transparently this relationship lives,He added Seidl. That doesn’t sound exactly like that McLaren seriously flirting with a new motor partner. But as we know, they have in the past in Formulas 1 really crazy things have already happened.
Still, the partnership is between McLarn in Mercedes between the years 1995 in 2013 led to three racing titles. Years 1998 in 1999 z Miko Hakkinen, years 2008 but with Lewis Hamilton. But is it right to revive old times? Honda is here in Woking a warring case, although the comparison is not exactly in place. But back then, there were reasons why they left Mercedes Benz.
Pri McLarn, then still in person Ron Dennis, they believed that as a buyer of engines or a partner of the manufacturer, they could not become world champions. On the other hand, they are partners today Renault, i.e. buyers of their engines. But we also have to ask ourselves if you are too Mercedess wants to supply its engines to another team as long as there are two teams left in Formula 1 in 2021 - Mercedes partners - Racing Point in Williams.
