He was in May this year Red Bull even against any engine freeze, as they feared it would Honda in this case she left Formula 1.
Now, however, the team is as predicted Japanesethat after the end of the season 2021 leaving Formula 1, made a turnaround. He blamed them for that too Jean Todt, President FIA. This is because Red Bull he does not want to become again manufacturer's partner and intends to take over the engines instead Honda. However, they can only remain competitive if no competitor can to develop further their engines. Otherwise, it could be so Red Bull in Alpha Tauri stopped racing in Formula 1, he stressed Helmut Marko.
While Mercedes their proposal supports, are Mattia binotto in Louis Camilleri explained that Ferrari he will not support this. He has now done the same Cyril Abiteboul on behalf of the French team Renault. "If you had asked me six months ago, I would have worked hard for an even lower budget ceiling to try to limit the cost of the chassis as well as the engines by accepting the freeze,”Is for colleagues from MotorsportWeek.com said the Frenchman. “All Red Bull and Honda were against and we accepted as it is. We continued on the other path. We’ve been very busy working on the 2022 engine platform since then, and if you ask me today what I think about engine freezes, my situation is clearly different from what I had six months ago. I am against engine freezing. We do not intend to stop what could be an important platform for us. We do not accept that."
It would be without freezing Red Bull probably forced to become again partner team manufacturer - of course if they stay in Formulas 1. With regulations that would stipulate that a team with the smallest number partners to provide the engine to one who does not have it should most likely do so Renault, Abiteboul, however, has no problem with this despite poor relations in the past. “Because we are involved in sports, we are well aware of the order and intend to fully comply with it, as well as our obligations. But first they have to ask us what they haven't done yet, and secondly there are very special circumstances, including the time for that to happen,He added Abiteboul.
