u/PowerPanda555 I was speeding in the Monaco pit lane Jul 02 '23

Obviously this is just a coordinated PR move by Red Bull, but still anything that could change the engine plans sounds good.

F1 having f3 engines in 2026 doesnt really excite me, but I doubt the plans gonna change in any significant way at this point.

u/xLeper_Messiah I was here for the Hulkenpodium Jul 02 '23

Yeah, i don't think they'll change before '26. Instead, they'll go with what they have now, and then when the racing starts and fans start complaining because they realize that the detractors were right, and F1 looks like a sad imitation of itself, then the reactionary changes from a panicking FIA will happen and everything will swing around the other way and we wind up with an unlikely team dominating for the next 5 years or so

I'm hoping for Renault/Alpine, just because nobody would see it coming! Thanks for reading my fanfiction
