Red Bull to Stay with Ferrari Engines in 2007
Quote selected text Published August 28th, 2006 in MainDespite flirting with a switch to Renault V8s, Red Bull Racing will stick with Ferrari power in 2007, team chief Christian Horner has said.
Red Bull has often been disappointed with its arrangement with Maranello based Ferrari in 2006, and was believed to have preferred to move to Renault, but at the end of last year signed a two-year engine supply deal with the Italian squad.
Quoted as telling Austria’s biggest newspaper, Kronen Zeitung, Horner said: ”We will have Ferrari engines in 2007. We will stay with the contract.”
If confirmed, the news will end any link between the Renault engine rumours and Flavio Briatore-managed Mark Webber’s confirmed switch to the team for 2007.
Presently Cosworth V10-powered ‘Toro Rosso’ co-owner Gerhard Berger, meanwhile, said in Istanbul that his team was still weighing-up its engine options.
The Austrian said: ”There is no big secret that we’re talking to Cosworth V8, Ferrari, Renault - different companies.”
