TALKING POINT RED BULL FLY AGAIN
“With what’s in the pipeline for coming races there’s a lot of reason for optimism. If
we get what’s advertised then it’s going to put us in a position at least to race Ferraris
every weekend,” he added.“Then, hopefully, we can get into trying to close that gap
with Mercedes at certain circuits.”
Renault will be testing an upgraded power unit at the Barcelona circuit this week
with plans to introduce it at next month’s Canadian Grand Prix for Red Bull and their
own Renault factory team.
Mercedes had won 36 of the previous 42 races until Spain this year, with Ferrari
the only team to beat them last year. They have dominated the sport since the V6
turbo hybrid power units replaced the V8s in 2014.
