REVEALED: Why Red Bull Are Not Copying Mercedes’ F1 Engine Strategy

Red Bull and Mercedes have been pushing each other to the limit as they are involved in an intense fight for the championship. The Silver Arrows have no problem getting new power units as it would bring them good results. But their rivals from Milton-Keynes limit bringing in new engines, as team advisor Dr. Helmut Marko believes the ones that they use are stable.

With two more races before the end of the season, Red Bull would hope to have the edge over the Silver Arrows and put an end to their dominance in the sport.

Red Bull will stick to their engine plans

Having the perfect balance in durability and performance can make or break a team’s weekend during a Grand Prix. As we head into the final stages of this season, the Milton-Keynes squad feels their engines from Honda are stable.

When asked by Sky Sports, as quoted by Motorsport. total.com,  Dr. Marko said, “We are not confronted with such fluctuations from Honda’s point of view. Our engines are stable. There is the fluctuation range within half a percent, and not like Mercedes, where it accounts for almost two percent.” (Translated from German via Google)
