Redbull not to use Renault engines in 2016
Discussion
Apparently Christian Horner said something rather cryptic on the BBC show yesterday? 'Ron Dennis may not like what's going to be announced'. Bit of a strange thing to say.
Also the Renault takeover of Lotus STILL hasn't been authorised by the board and may, actually, not happen after all.

You've got to hand it to EJ - utter twunt that he is, he almost has a Paxman-like ability to ask awkward questions and then keep at it like a rabid terrier.
I almost wish I hadn't been watching Sky F1 exclusively for the past few years. Almost.

Ted's notebook rambling was that the deal was done for Lotus to be brought by Renault (as brokered by Berni)
Also, 99.9% sure RB will still have a Renault (Mecachrome) engine next year, although it may well be called something else!
Betting that it will be called Tag, with the recent poach of Tag Heuer. Also, 99.9% sure RB will still have a Renault (Mecachrome) engine next year, although it may well be called something else!

What's the possibility of it being a Merc unit? Toto was fairly noncommital I thought and 'Ron being annoyed' could easily be construed as being jealous after Mc's switch from Mercedes to Honda.
possible I guess if Lotus swap engines with RB, but I fond that unlikely.hornetrider said:

I think "Ron being annoyed", is part of the speculation that the RBR/Renault/Illien unit will be named Tag. That's Ron's heritage there.suffolk009 said:

All they need now is to sponsored by MacLaren child buggies and we could have a silver grey MacLaren-Tag car on the grid and Ron would explode.Scuffers said:
