More F1 splits

[andicole0]

It now looks like Red Bull & Renault could split at the end of 2018. So if TR do well with Honda could we see RB Honda?
In the end though it does appear that teams without their own engine are all a bit disillusioned.

95% of everything right now is people jumping to conclusions. Even Alonso sticking with Mclaren because of a switch to Renault seems to be jumping to conclusions. SNIP

Exactly, but the reality would be boring so let's have fun while the sun shines.
Nothing wrong with a bit of speculation.

PS Seems Renault want to split from RB.

Just seen the interview with Christian standing there with AM logo and name on his shirt.
I also think Adrian Newey had been working with AM on other projects.
Porsche may have to buy Sauber Lol.

Is Aston Martin still owned by David Richards of Prodrive fame as well as BAR and Benetton?

My surprise was his confidence in AM's ability to produce an engine for 2018. I mean, where is it going to come from?

Their other racing interests such as Le Mans.

Yes no one's going to develop an engine for 2 years. I suspect Red Bull will be Honda driven for 2019/2020 then we'll see a V8 naturally aspirated AM engine in 2021, along with a Porsche, Cosworth etc.

Hmm Horner did effectively rule out Honda, Renault and Porsche. I am now intrigued to see what AM could get away with.

Interestingly Christian didn't rule out a Ferrari engine did he?

I was referring more to their recent years, and especially with RB's success at the end of the NA era. Ferrari & Merc aren't going to supply a team to compete directly against themselves, but wouldn't mind supplying the midfield teams.

But as you say, RB have bitched about Renault since the start, so it's little wonder they're wanting to move them on.

I understood it was Renault who called for an end after 2018.
