I think Red Bull Management continue to make the smartest moves in F1.

Kudos to their management. They appear to understand what it takes to win in F1.

As many know, Red Bull and STR will NEVER win a WDC having a Ferrari customer engine.

I can't think of any Ferrari customer team ever being close ? can you ?

Red Bull are thinking of buying Cosworth.

Of course here is where a dual deal comes in as Toyota becomes a supplier to Williams. Toyota is able to bring in some $$ they keep pumping out.

Another win win situation

If this happens, I'm almost positive it wouldn't be long be before Team Aguri becomes Honda F1 as well

 

I can't see that happening, the reason Suzuki started up SA is to have the first 100% all Japanese team. If Honda Racing takes over, they will start introducing forgein drivers.
Also what will Honda gain be buying SA anyway?
It'll be a waste of money and Honda Racing are already building the SA06.

 

Do you mean they're thinking of buying Cosworth engines or Cosworth, the company?

buying the rights to Cosworth Engines from Ford

 

I don't think Cosworth has any ties with Ford anymore. Ford badges Cossies for the ChampCar series, but Kevin kalkhoven ownes Cosworth now.

 

Sorry, I don't know.
Please explain why.

 

its an unwritten paddock rule in F1 whereby the company supplying the engines can't finish below the team using them..

even though red bull is paying for Ferrari engines, its not like they are going to allow red bull to place higher in the constructors' or even win the wdc

 

Ya know Simon my first reaction to that was "oh that's complete bull $hit", but then I thought for a second, and at this point in current state of F1 and the Max and Bernie Show I guess nothing surprises me anymore so you are probably right...

 

Until Ferrari figures out how to make the engine consistently last a full race length, it's somewhat of a moot point.

 

well if someone can find me a Ferrari customer engined team in the modern era, that won the WDC, i'd liked to know
