Red Bull 'to consider engine options' for 2019

By Joas van Wingerden.

Red Bull supremo Christian Horner has once again confirmed that his team will not commit to an engine relationship with Renault beyond the end of the current season, and feels that it is a 'great thing' that the constructor has a number of options.

Red Bull and, indeed, Renault, have refused to confirm that their agreement will continue beyond the end of the 2018 campaign, and Red Bull's junior team, Toro Rosso, will utilise Honda engines for the upcoming campaign, fueling rumours that they could also be used for the team proper.

Speaking to RACER, Horner feels that his team are in a good position by keeping their options open, and that they plan to keep a close eye on the developments of Honda across the season ahead.

He said: "The great thing for us is that we have options, which is a situation we haven't been in previously.

"We'll take our time to evaluate those options and then try and make the best informed decision we can during the course of the coming year."

On the Honda relationship, he added: "It's a great deal for Toro Rosso. Honda have a great legacy in Formula 1. They have desire and ambition.

"As a sister team, we'll be keeping an interested eye on their progress during the first half of the year."
