Toto Wolff, CEO of the Mercedes F1 Team, said Ferrari couldn’t stop Red Bull from building its own F1 engine starting in 2022.

Honda, which currently supplies working engines to Red Bull, has decided to withdraw from F1 activities in 2021 only, but Red Bull plans to buy the intellectual property of the Honda F1 engine and take over its production itself. You are doing.

However, it is unlikely that Red Bull, which originally does not have the engine manufacturing know-how, will further develop and strengthen the engine, so it is said that it will be a necessary condition for Red Bull to freeze engine development from F1 after 2022. We plan to sue him at a meeting of the parties on Monday the 26th.

Helmut Marco, leader of Red Bull, said about this:

“We want to prioritize staying with Honda until new engine regulations are introduced, if it is economically reasonable.”

“To that end, engine development must be frozen from 2022 and no further development is allowed.”

However, the general opinion is that one of the rival teams, Ferrari, will object.

Meanwhile, Wolf of Mercedes, another and Red Bull’s biggest rival, surprised F1 officials by making statements in support of Red Bull’s ideas.

At the Algarve circuit last weekend, when the F1 Portuguese GP was held, Wolff told his native Austria, Kronen Zeitung:

“There is no such idea in our DNA, because we want to develop our own performances, but we want to help Red Bull and Honda as much as we can.”

“Technically Red Bull has what it takes to do that so we want to act in the best interest of the sport and of course Honda (motor). I want to keep it.”

At Red Bull, the new F1 engine rules will apply from 2026, but we also hope to accelerate it to 2023 or 2024. That would create the potential for a new engine manufacturer to enter and give Red Bull the opportunity to partner with the new engine manufacturer.

Wolff said Red Bull’s proposal is likely to be accepted in a meeting Monday with representatives of F1’s owner, Liberty Media, the FIA ​​(International Automobile Federation of F1 Governors) and F1 engine manufacturers. It seems to be thinking.

Wolff suggested that even if Ferrari voted against, this time it would be decided by majority rather than consensus, adding:

“It should work, even if Ferrari doesn’t agree.”
