Renault and Ferrari oppose Red Bull's engine freeze call

The Hindu  

Renault and Ferrari have expressed their opposition to a freeze of Formula One's engine regulations from 2022 that would enable Red Bull to take on Honda's power unit once the Japanese manufacturer bows out. Honda is leaving as an engine manufacturer at the end of next year, meaning Red Bull and sister team AlphaTauri will have to search for a new supplier. Red Bull boss Christian Horner said last week that the preferred option was to take on the Honda power unit but the regulations would need to be frozen to make that affordable. RELATED| Ferrari chief executive Louis Camilleri told La Gazzetta dello Sport this week that freezing the power units went against the spirit of Formula One.
