If I was RB I'd look at firing Newey if thats what it takes to get my hands on a Merc engine for next season. No amount of trick aero will get them close at the moment even if they had a Ferrari engine in the back.

Horner said the pace of Hamilton on Friday at Monza was "frightening".
They 'turned down' the engine for the rest of the weekend for reliability.
I think Red Bull would be better with Renault rather than Honda. If they get a Ferrari engine I would imagine it will be badged as something else, maybe Alfa Romeo or Maserati.

More positive noise from Ferrari about supplying engines to RB. No way would RB switch to Honda now. Worst case they stay with Renault.
Something will be worked out with someone as long as there is enough $$$ on the table.
I imagine one of the biggest worries for any potential RB engine supplier is the amount of public gurning they will get if RB are not happy with the performance, or think they are getting less than the works team, or whatever... Not an easy partner!

Lotus really on the ropes:
BBC Sport - Lotus to 'survive season and beyond' - Federico Gastaldi
Yes, some positive PR in there, but not looking good.
Will Renault really bail them out if there are no takers for their engine next year, especially if they lose RB/TR? What would be the point? Must cost them a fortune already. Imagine if they have to take on the full costs of the engine development, and run a works team at the same time...

Renault officially pulling the plug on the engine. Sad, but no big surprise.
BBC Sport - Renault to stop supplying engines to other F1 teams
The Lotus deal might still go through. Actually, reading that article, the team deal makes more sense again. Get the Renault name more visible.
Any bets on Honda still persevering beyond 2016?
Only option left for RB looks like Ferrari. Either way, it means a complete redesign of the car for next year. And we are already late into the current year... Could well see Mateschitz pulling the plug on the team...
If the dudes running F1 are not worried by all of this, then there is no hope...

A win for Hamilton on Sunday will match Senna's career wins and number of races completed!
Let's hope he dosent win then.
Anyone that gets close to a legend of their sport deserves it imo!

Hoping Ferrari & Renault engines fall apart tomorrow lol.
Nice to someone challenge Hamilton for a change.
Think one of the commentators, either Sky or BBC, mentioned earlier in the year Mercedes didn't like a bumpy track & said then that they would not like Singapore. Prediction was bang on the money.

Fingers crossed Hamilton gets his ass handed to him tomorrow. If so, there will be yet another moan fest!
