So how will this effect Renault? Apart from the very valuable Adrian Newey data they will be missing out on cash cow Red Bull leaves...
It is, I feel, a very smart move from Red Bull. Not only will it save them a lot of money (I assume), they maybe even get it for free? But also they have secured a true #1 status engine supplier. In the end Renault will favor the Renault works team (obviously). Further more, and I don’t know much about the Japanese but I do know that failure won’t be an option this time for Honda (after the Brawn debacle), RB knows for sure that Honda will give them 100%+. Especially since McLaren left them, which must have stung (Alonso Alonso Alonso....another wrong choice I’m afraid).
Verstappen for World Champion with Honda-Red Bull in 2020? Or will Ricciardo stay on long enough to clinch a title with Honda-Red Bull. He is the one that has to make a very tough decision. Stay or go...
