Adrian Newey has said that Red Bulls new relationship with Honda is a "breath of fresh air" after a few tedious years working with Renault. Red Bull seem to be happy with their new engine suppliers and have performed relatively well so far this season. The new relationship has benifited the mentality of the team and everyone seems more positive. 

“Honda is really a breath of fresh air,” Newey told Sky F1’s Natalie Pinkham on her In The Pink Podcast. “They are great people to work with, very straight forward, very well organised.

“It’s actually motivated the whole team having this new relationship with them. They always deliver what they say. No complaints at all there.

“I think that’s the nice relationship that we have with Honda that we trust each other to just get on and do our bits and not start flinging mud at each other.

“Culturally, absolutely they are very different but I think as long as you respect that and understand it then it’s absolutely fine.”

Red Bull are very happy working with Honda and they will hope that the positive relationship brings with them the success that they both desire.
