This is a great life line for the RB team which is edging closer to becoming a human body without a heart to power it. 2018 is two seasons away which is ample time for VW to develop and rigorously test their engine.

Until then, RB will likely be supplied by Ferrari as it's clear that their relationship with Renault has collapsed.

 

[Mr Robert]

Yeah, that will not happen now.

Wasn't Audi saying Le Mans is far more productive for them? I remember reading they said F1 was not worth it.

You are right, I also remember reading about this.

Those Audi guys are going places, not F1, but places.

The first thing getting scrapped will be the marketing team

What am I saying? They actually where the ones who did their job right selling the TDIs in the first place

 

[Mr. Mercedes]

You guys are right. This may very well be up on the chopping block.
