Wolfsburg - Volkswagen (VW) diesel gate affect businesses German manufacturer entered into Formula One (F1). VW had previously been rumored cooperation is nearing a decision to make a new engine for the Red Bull Racing for 2018, but is now apparently going to disappear.
Red Bull Team Principal Christian Horner said that the collaboration with VW may "disappear like smoke". The contract does not mean off the table, but the penalty in front of the eyes that threaten VW because of the scandal emissions testing, replacement of the CEO, the stock decline, and focus of the board of directors has changed, VW fails adding records to the F-1 history.
If the partnership fails, the worst impact is not just for VW, but also Red Bull. Red Bull's cooperation with Renault that still exists at the same time became the champion constructor had triumphed in 2010, 2011, 2012, and 2013, began to weaken. Last year was a good achievement by finishing runner-up position, but in this year's season has not yet won a Grand Prix series.
"With the regulation as it is today, if you do not have a Mercedes or Ferrari engine is quite difficult to compete. And if we are no longer able to compete, then there will be the question what's left over from F1, "said Horner.
