Red Bull backs F1 engine equalisation move - Lemmy.world

I’m so confused, I always assume Horner is double speaking and shit talking but I can’t quite figure out the angle here. Is it: “Go ahead and equalise the engines and fight amongst yourselves we have aero advantage anyway”?

I can see a few reasons why I think red bull won't be against this.

  • They believe they have the best drive on the grid. Put everyone in identical cars and Max still probably wins everything
  • They believe their aero package is better than anyone else
  • They were helped by a similar thing a few years ago when Honda was dropping engine manufacturing. Paying back the karma
  • Helps keep costs down. Making an engine be as good as everyone else is significantly easier than making an engine better than everyone else. There becomes a point when it is exponentially harder to increase performance
