Internet ontploft: 'Nu weten we zeker dat Mercedes zal blijven domineren'
Maandagochtend bevestigde Red Bull Racing dat zij vanaf het seizoen 2022 Honda's F1-project zullen overnemen, nadat een bevriezing van de motorontwikkeling was overeengekomen door de betrokkenen in de Formule 1. Honda kondigde aan de F1 te verlaten na het komende seizoen 2021, en Red Bull was er snel bij om hun interesse te tonen in het behouden van de huidige motor.
Zowel Red Bull als AlphaTauri zullen de Honda motor blijven gebruiken. Na maanden van speculaties en geruchten, is dit hoe het internet reageerde op de bevestiging.
Kort maar krachtig antwoord van Honda

No other choice, no one else would dare work with you. You have the PR capabilities of Fernando Alonso.

Good move all round this. Important that both Red Bull and Alpha Tauri have the same PU, and a better option than a switch back to Renault. Now to get former Mercedes HPP boss Andy Cowell to run the project - that gardening leave has to be coming to an end soon https://t.co/pXp9AFSx5c

Red Bull’s approach really does deserve more credit sometimes. At the heart of it, it’s an energy drink, but its commitment and brilliant marketing now means it has two teams AND a powertrain company #F1 https://t.co/1zrFUU5T6W
