\u201cLook, we got a lot of unwanted positive publicity about the performance of our engine and that came with certainly attention from a lot of teams,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cAre we having any serious conversations with anyone to supply another team? No. We don\u2019t feel we are ready for that. Is it set in stone for the next five years? No. Because I don\u2019t know what\u2019s going to happen in the next five years, but for sure, for us there is enough work on our side to improve the power unit, to improve its integration in the car.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mekies insisted nobody at Red Bull Powertrains believes the engine is finished.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m smiling because you will struggle to find one person in RBPT that thinks that the engine is sorted,\u201d he said. \u201cThere are a thousand driveability considerations that we know we can do better, and we know we will do better.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added that getting the most out of the link between engine and chassis was the main reason for Red Bull building its own unit.<\/p>\n
\u201cOne of the main reasons you use your own power unit is to try to extract a competitive advantage from its integration, and that\u2019s what we are all working towards.\u201d<\/p>\n
Aston Martin\u2019s Mike Krack also tried to calm the idea, confirming the team’s commitment to the Japanese manufacturer.<\/p>\n
\u201cI can only say we have a partner, a long-term partner, which is Honda, that, by the way, has done its 500th race this weekend, and I think we will be together also when we win our first race together,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
