For those that follow the F1

Red Bull have announced their engine supplier for 2016. Could be interesting if those imported to improve the engine are any good, which they supposedly are.

I just hope Daniel will get a few more ponies behind him next year, this is a step but time will say if it is in the right direction.

Hi Peter,

You may also be interested in this article that confirms Renault
have contracted Ilmor Engineering to try and improve the power unit.
http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/122130

Given Mercedes won't be standing still improving their own power unit,
Renault and Honda in particular will have a lot of catching up to do.

It was announced Renault will take over the Lotus team and race again
under their own name.

It's been seven years since the "Crashgate scandal" in Singapore.

Yes 2016 will indeed be very interesting. Renault cannot afford to have a year like 2015 as far as the power unit goes. With Ilmor now an integral part, it should hopefully move forward instead of reverse as it has done in 2015.
