Actually he stepped back for 2014,16,18. Not 15 and 18. 15 was the first car since desiging the 2011 car that he fully worked on.

@@MuhammadNiz007 Aand as far as I know, the only reason he wasn't completely onboard for 2016 was the Valkyre Project (or "RB-AM-01") and 2018 due to personal things. But I would say it was Honda and Max that rekindled his interest. He hated the Renault Engine and the restrictions it gave them with building the car.

If the new powertrain division and ford partnership don't workout, will they lose Newey?

@@y__h the coming powertrain even if it is labeled as Ford its still an in-house redbull engine which they get to decide exactly how they want it. Ford is only on for writing checks in exchange for promotion really, with some minor input if theyre needed. Considering Adrian just comitted to Redbull again pretty recently i dont see him going away before deciding to call quits on designing F1 cars

@@y__h Newey is 64, I doubt he will take on another team tbh. My guess is the contract he now signed will probably be his last one.

The Maldonator himself!

I think he was talking about championships

@@mrxbasyooo,Your here as well??!

Very very Renault of them

just like their road cars

They’ve been in a 5 year plan for a gazillion years

They’ve been unreliable since the KERS V8 era

@@sandalphoncpu We can go even further back to Renault's horrible reliability during the 80s turbo era.

Yeah as a Max fan he was fucked over big time, and i still felt bad. Especially when Marko said he had more talent than Gasly. Kid had so much potential but yeah really unlucky with the timing he was brought

Horner at one point was both a Formula 3000 driver and running his own team. And with the latter, he became very successful before Red Bull asked him to run their team. That's a priceless and unique experience for a starting F1 boss. And already at a very young age, becoming the youngest team principal (even younger than his driver Coulthard). This gave him all the time to grow in his role and he's the longest-sitting team principal now. Add to that, he came to the right place and at the right time. With Red Bull investing heavily in F1 and having no problem paying Adrian Newey 10 million a year to come to work for them.

Yes and no The engines were allowed to be equalised in terms of power more or less despite the engine freeze in 2006 circa 2009 Also the Renault V8 was the most fuel efficient and had the best drivability making the EBD work even better The Renault V8 was a good engine and tbh there wasn’t really any bad engines in the V8 era maybe aside from the Cosworth engine that came back in 2010

@@RANDOMZBOSSMAN1 You sure? Even throughout the Red Bull era sources have said that the Renault engine was slightly lacking in power compared to what Merc and Ferrari offered, making that up through reliability, fuel efficiency and what not

This is what i was looking for. @gavcom4060 i appreciate for putting up this point. Renault in v10 and v8 era was underpowered but it was effiecient and reliable.

@@gavcom4060 Renault were given special allowance to make some power increase changes circa 2009 to more or less equalise the engine power of the big 3 engine suppliers Mercedes had the most power yes but the margins were very small You have to remember part of the reason RB were slow in a straight line was car philosophy as well in terms of chasing downforce Example of this was in 2010 the Renault factory cars were regularly topping speed charts yet the RB were usually towards the bottom

@@gavcom4060 It may have been down on power, but it kept exaughtst gasses flowing even off throttle so the blown diffuser was always creating max downforce, and it had "traction control" in 2012.

Thank you!

that would've made Ferrari leave, they didn't want that

@@NeonColored I see. Maybe the Ferrari/Fiat/Arbarth connections could’ve cooked up something.

@@Midtable1881 well you would probably know by now but Brabham used a turbo 4cyl by BMW back in the early 80s and it became the 1st turbocharged f1 car to win a driver's championship.

@@vickramgangaram2925 I stand corrected, thank you!

I think it makes no sense when the engine is a stressed member of the chassis, in this case a v- shape is way more suited. This is also why the Porsche LMP1 car used to have a V4, but a V4 is especially irrelevant for road cars as the simplicity of an inline four makes it superior to a v-shape when it is not a stressed member.

Yeah, but they had their design completely ruined by the FIA banning linked front and rear suspension.

Ferrari had a better engine than red bull !

@@19megamustaine85 maybe more reliable than that shit Renault engine. But when Mercedes laps two seconds faster than anyone else it doesn’t really make a difference who’s engine was better at that point.

The Williams in 2014 and 2015 weren’t bad cars though. It wasn’t the best on the grid and it got a lot out of the engine but it was still a lot better than the Force Indias and the Lotuses that had the same engine. They got plenty of podiums as well, and no matter how you look at it a car that can get multiple podiums in a year and finish 3rd in the constructors is not a bad car.

Williams wasn’t a bad car tbh It was very handy around lower downforce tracks due to his straight line efficiency and could have won a GP on pure pace in 2015 if it wasn’t for the rain at the British GP They did a lot better than other Mercedes customer teams at time in Force India/McLaren/Lotus and Manor

@@RANDOMZBOSSMAN1 That's exactly why they did so good, their crappy aero produced very little drag and the mercedes engine gave them plenty of power. The martini williams was basically an f1 muscle car

@@ihavewaited90daystochangem51 looooool not an F1 muscle car that’s hilarious It wasn’t bad around traditional tracks either only it’s weakness was around very high downforce track, like it was defo a decent car with a decent initial base but not a high ceiling And then the 2017 changes came and the car philosophy couldn’t work in the wide car super high downforce era

I didn't ask for all your opinions

Renault is/was a force in F1 After 10 years i am completely in shock at how shit the Renault power units are

Yeah and finally in 2019 and 2020 you were able to see the light. In 2021 everyone knew if they can make the little bit better they can fight for the championship

What? are you sure about that?

Umm bro 🤣....we live in 2016 don't we.....don't we? 😐

Not true The FIA stated that the change to titanium resulted in 2-3 times faster wear rates
