Red Bull team principal, Christian Horner, has praised Renault for its efforts that went into the vastly improved power unit used since the Monaco Grand Prix. The new engine went through a real test in the power track of Montreal and it proved to be a big step forward which makes Red Bull hopeful for the remainder of the season.

Surely he isn't allowed to say anything like that? And even if he was, I assumed the tyre usage data may have been provided to pirelli anonymously?GoranF1 wrote:I think i read somewhere that Paul Hembrey said Merc&Ferrari shoud be frightened of Mclaren as well,according to 2016 data provided to Pirelli by teamslio007 wrote:Oh dear, even Newey is frightened of Honda.

I can only view that as yet another dig at Renault and a pre-emptive CYA.lio007 wrote:Oh dear, even Newey is frightened of Honda. I really hope this won't happen and Renault takes a considerable step forward.

It's an honest assessment, we need more of that in F1, not less!zeph wrote:I can only view that as yet another dig at Renault and a pre-emptive CYA.lio007 wrote:Oh dear, even Newey is frightened of Honda. I really hope this won't happen and Renault takes a considerable step forward.

I think it's pretty depressing to be honest. The first half of the season will be increadibly hard for Red Bull, and obviously for Renault themselves. Hopefully progress will be made with the PU and they can catch up in the 2nd half of 2016."If we start the engine with the same power as we have had throughout 2014 and 2015, which I think may well be the case, then we are going to be even further behind.
Renault are throwing more money at the problem so hopefully we'll see some strides being made.ME4ME wrote:I think it's pretty depressing to be honest.

He must have died and rose again? Even so the Jesus of F1 he is not. Quite the opposite. hahaCold Fussion wrote:I would love to know what definition of Martyrdom Marko is operating off of, because it appears to be unrelated to any classical definition.
How was Brawn not affiliated with Honda? Honda threw everything into 2009. According to Alex Wurz they developed 3 different cars for 2009 at one point.FoxHound wrote:Renault are throwing more money at the problem so hopefully we'll see some strides being made.ME4ME wrote:I think it's pretty depressing to be honest.

But what intrigues me is that out of the last 30 seasons in F1, only one team has won the championship not being affiliated to a manufacturer. That team being Brawn. Both Williams and McLaren had close ties to Honda, and then Renault and Mercedes respectively.
Red Bull must now clearly see that, and it is irrespective of the engine rules which they'd have you believe.
They need to bag a manufacturer, or make an engine themselves. Waiting for this miraculously stupid alternative engine will guarantee one thing....a manufacturer exodus.
But the engine and gearbox were Mercedes, and not the Honda V8 it was designed for.rscsr wrote:How was Brawn not affiliated with Honda? Honda threw everything into 2009. According to Alex Wurz they developed 3 different cars for 2009 at one point.
It is often said but Red Bull will have a hard time getting manufacturer support again. It seems to me, that they will get a neutral marketing effect out of RBR.
