According to Red Bull Racing boss Christian Horner, Renault is contractually obliged to prioritise his team next season, regardless of whether the engine firm follows through on a plan to purchase the Lotus team and return as a fully-fledged manufacturer entry.
“They [Renault] have no choice for themselves, they have to turn it around,” he exclusively told Crash.net. “We really need to see a good direction in the second half of the year that will carry a development theme into next year.
“We have a very clear situation with Renault until the end of next year irrelevant to the choices they make next year. Renault is aware of that so I think the most fundamental thing for both us and Renault is to address and reduce the deficit to Mercedes and Ferrari power units.
“Whatever they do they need a competitive engine and we have an agreement that clearly states we are the premium team. Whatever they do doesn't really affect us.”
