why does red bull think renault is better?
why do they think the renault engine will be so much better than the ferrrari engine they had last year?
don't get much f1 covereage here and maybe I'm missing something...."Approach racing like billiards - bash the ball too hard, get nowhere." Juan Manuel Fangio

If i remember correctly, Renault engine is smaller in size and Ferrari engine supposedly is difficult to setup.

And besides it is a very reliable engine and needs (I think) a simpler cooling system.
There WAS nothing like rallying, Superrally is a joke!

Maybe it was so last year, but who has said that this should be so this season as well? As Ferrari is said to be the title favourite, then they can't have a mediocre engine.

I'm not so sure they do think the Renault is that much better, but the support they'll get from Renault is likely to be better than they got from Ferrari. Renault has a proven history of being able to supply more than one team and be reasonably competitive at least.

I've only read about cooling system issues. Red Bull feels the cooling system requirements of the Renault engine won't interfere with their areo scheme like the Ferrari engine did.
If legislation makes you equal, you aren't.

Th Ferrari engine is said to be the most powerfull in the field but Renault have made engines that are easier to drive than many others for a few years now I gather. Plus the Ferrari engine is worse at heat reduction than the Renault and so the Renault allowes for better packaging, or so the theore goes at least.
Considering the cooling problems that ruined RBR's season last year I'm not surprised that they wanted to change the engine.

Maybe because since Ferrari started supplying customer engines no other constructor with a Ferrari powerplant has won a F1 race? Originally Posted by johnny shell
