As the world media reports almost unanimously, it will FIA voted electronically on the proposal “Engine freezes”, which is almost the ultimatum of the Austrian team, because if other teams vote against, it will Red Bull “Drastically reconsider its continued involvement in Formula 1,” emphasizes Helmut Marko.

So what will happen to Red Bullom po December 31, 2021? The team insists on a proposal that caused quite a stir last year: ti Engine-Freeze, which basically means that by 2022 the FIA would ban the development of current propulsion units. In these circumstances, you could Red Bull continue to independently manage Honda powertrains, of course, all other teams must agree with this.
"We are waiting for a decision to be made by the FIA," he says Helmut Marko: “Next week we will know where we stand. Pri Red Bullu and Honda we have already agreed, the Japanese will sell us their technology. Nevertheless, the matter will only be relevant if the decision is confirmed by the FIA, so I urge the other teams to vote for the freeze agreement. "
Marko is convinced that the freeze on development also makes sense for other teams: “This power unit has already swallowed a huge amount of money and there is no point in making it any more. However, in the event that no consensus is reached, we will be at Red Bullu had to think drastically about our further participation in Formula 1, ” concludes company consultant Red Bull for motorsport.
