A deal with Force India came not from the ground, and that seems, in retrospect, but better. The English sportwagenbouwer has a lot bigger fish reeled in.

Or vice versa, of course, it depends on how you look at it. At the end of last season, started the whole soap around Red Bull. One of the previously discussed options this season seemed to be driving with Mercedes engines, but under the flag of Aston Martin. That deal came not from the land, especially since Mercedes on such short-term no engines wanted to deliver.

After this season the contract with Renault and so there may already be a timely search for a new source of power. Although there is still no statement about its done, it seems to all be pretty sure to know that Red Bull and Aston Martin cooperation for season 2017 are going to announce. What undoubtedly helped to beklinken of the deal is the fact that Aston Martin CEO Andy Palmer previously was in charge at Infiniti. Exactly, the brand that is a few years tied to Red Bull Racing.

The use of Mercedes-AMG engines, it seems a very logical next step. The Germans have already signed a deal with Aston Martin to V8 engines for their sports cars continue to deliver. An Aston Martin F1 car with a Ferrari, Renault, or Honda-power seems also unlikely, what’s even a clue in the direction of the use of Mercedes AMG engines.

UPDATE 10:00: Now is the cooperation between Red Bull and Aston Martin, officially. Not only will the upcoming Grand Prix of Australia the Aston Martin logo on the RB12 revolution, also Red Bull and Aston Martin collaborate on a which hypercar! This is a key role for RBR’s Adrian Newey, one of the most important racing car designers in the world. There is already a teaser of the new which hypercar, however, there is still no info about a possible motorendeal.
