Red Bull Racing must arrange for a new engine supplier by 2022 or perhaps develop the current Honda engine itself, after the Japanese engine supplier decided to quit the sport. Then, however, Christian Horner wants the engine regulations to be frozen, but that does not seem to happen.

From 2023 onwards, the engines in Formula 1 will be completely frozen, but because Red Bull Racing now wants to develop the engines itself, it hopes to bring those rules forward by a year. That way it will cost the Austrians less to take over from Honda, but the idea is not a popular one with other teams.

Horner does not get his way

''Christian Horner wants to bring the regulations to the fore. It doesn't work for a while and then threatens to get them out of Formula 1," Dutch racing driver Allard Kalff tells RTL GP Slipstream.

''Renault has already said that if they (Red Bull) need an engine, they can supply one. So they're not without an engine, although that might not be the engine he wants," says Kalff about Red Bull's team boss.
