Red Bull teams announce engine deals
Renault engines for RBR - Ferrari engines for STR
31 October 2006
Today Red Bull Racing finally cleared up its engine situation for the upcoming season. Renault engines will power Red Bull Racing, while the Scuderia Toro Rosso team will use Ferrari engines in the back of their F1 cars.
In 2006 Red Bull Racing was racing with Ferrari engines, but they were flirting with Formula One champions Renault to try and get its customer engines. The Scuderia Toro Rosso drivers were using Cosworth V10 engines. Next year Toro Rosso will be powered by Ferrari engines, and thus it means goodbye to Cosworth in F1. In 2007 we will see Ferrari supply their own Formula 1 team, Spyker F1 and Scuderia Toro Rosso.

Hey, OH Marco, get prepared, I may drop team Renault next year as I can be a Renault fan just by following Red Bull, but don't get too excited about me covering a smaller percentage of the filed, because I just might pick up team Honda next year, but not Super Aguri...

Yeah, just what Honda needs, a band wagon fan.. 
I look forward to see the battle between Spyker and Red Bull... Newey vs Gascoyne, as far as Toro rosso goes, yeah Doug, Im not sure if Newey can lend a helping hand or not, but the 06 TR didnt do too bad, so maybe Gerhard has a few aero guys that know how to make air flow
Just remember 1 thing Doug, When Sir JB wins 13 races next year and wins the WDC and WCC for Honda in the FIRST year of a Honda car being created in a full sized Wind Tunnel, and your all bubbley and giggly, when you buy the Honda Racing F1 Team hat, I will find your ass and capture the hat and kindly paint... BAND WAGON Honda Fan on it... Least I could do, considering I didnt cheer for anyone when Honda left in 93, til Mugen Honda joined Jordan in 97, then when Honda came back in 2000. Being ONLY a Honda fan, I have the right to label you.... Think of me in the same way as America thought of the guy who labeled people communists durring the cold war

Hey pen, good question.
I suspect it may indeed happen someday.
I don't think Dietrich Mateschitz the owner of Red Bull would mandate Toro Rosso cars have to be behind Red Bull cars.
Do you think Mateschitz wants Toro Rosso to always be behind the Red Bull cars?

Thanks for the offer, but I might not be able to afford that.
This is good enough for me, and simple for other people to order.
Thanks though.
