Red Bull, Horner: “Renault guaranteed us absolute engine parity”

No conflict of interest, no fear that Renault might decide to supply Red Bull with a less up-to-date power unit specification than the one that will equip the official Enstone cars. The doubt, with the French manufacturer's entry into F1 personally, is more than legitimate, but it was forcefully dispelled by Chris Horner. The team principal from Milton Keynes actually explained how it is in Renault's own interest to ensure equal treatment between the two teams.

“From Renault we had the guarantee of absolute equal treatment, also because it is convenient for them to have a point of reference to best evaluate their progress - Horner told Motorsport - Their team is still in the growth phase while with us they will immediately have a clearer idea of ​​the power unit's potential. Renault was able to get back on its feet after the difficulties of 2015, and in 2016 we started to see their improvement. We can also be a point of reference for their official team."
