That seems logical, and Renault will supply one other team such as Williams or Lotus or both. We shall see. I don't see why Mercedes themselves, not the race team, would want to stop it. They seem to think the team should prove themselves.
Xpensive predicted that one so at least that's another Nomex suit he won't have to eat - if true.
Further, Dennis denied that McLaren were vetoing the supply of engines to RBR.
Difficult to judge that one. It was alleged that McLaren had a veto, but I'm not sure why they would since it wasn't really up to them unless some deal was done. It would seem more logical for Mercedes to complain since their team will be competing against two teams with the same engine. The road to the front gets ever longer, but I digress.
