Renault engine is our handicap - Mateschitz

By on

Red Bull founder Dietrich Mateschitz has declared that the Red Bull Racing F1 Team's biggest handicap at the moment is the team's engine supplier Renault. At the moment, sister team Toro Rosso is much stronger than Red Bull thanks to the Ferrari engine. After the engine freeze, Renault seems to cut short on terms of engine power.

Dietrich Mateschitz said to the Austrian newspaper 'Kleine Zitung': "Since a couple of months we have one of the best chassis' in Formula 1. But we also have a handicap, which is the Renault engine. Toro Rosso doesn't have that problem with Ferrari engines. That is the reason why Toro Rosso's combination is faster than Red Bull Racing."
