Re: Audi to supply Red Bull with F1 engine? - 11-14-2005, 04:17 AM

As much as I would love this, I don't know how true it could be. F1 is no joke, so Audi would have to spend lots of money to make a competitive engine for Red Bull. By the time they entered, the competition would have a leg up on them in R&D on the new engines as well. At the same time, they have the new Le Mans car debuting next season as well. Only time will tell what will become of this story, but I know Audi was not too keen on entering open wheel racing in the past.

This move makes sense for Red Bull though, because it seems in this day and age, you need a manufacturer to behind your engine in order to be at the top. We'll see how Cosworth does with Williams next year, but I can't Ferrari allowing Red Bull to be a number one team with their engines. I can't wait for next season; the suspsense is already killing me.
