Is Redbull the architect of its engine problems?

[Nitrodaze]

Is there enough nous at Red Bull to build their own engines like Zakspeed did in Formula One? They can't very well do worse that Zakspeed can they?

Apparently, Redbull do not think your idea is that crazy as they have agreed with Renault to take on future development of the Renault engine with illmor assisting with its future development.

As it goes, RBR would be running the Renault engine in 2016. Now Mercedes and Ferrari have something to think about. All along, RBR appeared to be lost while they were actually negotiating intellectual rights on the ICE module on the Renault engine which they co-developed with Renault. Honda was interested in supplying Redbull, because RBR dangled the Renault ICE design at them. Renault who one would have expected to be very pissed with redbull for the state of affairs in the media was unusually quiet. Now we know why, they needed to secure the rights to the ICE design which RBR has a joint rights to. The media charade was cloak and dagger after all.

That said, it is great RBR would be on the grid for 2016. I would love to see how the 2016 Renault engine developed with illmor's involvement would compare to the competition.
