The head of Red Bull Racing, Christian Horner, spoke about the optimism of the team on the eve of the transition to Honda motors. McLaren used Honda engines from 2015 to 2017, but has not achieved any success. Despite this, Red Bull is optimistic about the prospects for cooperation with the Japanese manufacturer, based on data from Toro Rosso obtained in 2018.
Red Bull Racing boss Christian Horner told Sky F1 exactly how his players are going to interact with Honda. Milton Keynes is not overly concerned about engine density and is primarily concerned with the power it will deliver, he said.
"We did exactly the opposite, when compared with McLaren," said Horner. - We said: build the best motor you can make, and then tell us the desired parameters of the radiators. And we will do everything.
We want Honda to prioritize engine power, not assembly.”
He added: “We can see that impressive progress has already been made and it is inspiring.
Over time, Honda has narrowed the gap between Mercedes and Ferrari. We are really inspired by her progress.
And that's good for F1."
