F1 Engines

[pies]

Anybody got any idea how good the Cosworth engine will be now it will be rev limited

Also i notice that STR, Red bull and Brawn don't have an engine deal for next year.Now as Merc have previously stated they will only supply three teams,will Brawn get the engine or will one of the others "pinch" it of them

Mercedes are not going to take an engine away from the championship favourites to risk on an unknown...

Doesn't matter. It's still powered by Mercedes. If they weren't in the back of that Brawn, then it would be a Renault heading the table...

Aren't engine suppliers restricted to three teams anyway?

I think Brawn will want to stick to Mercedes. Tried and true and all that.

There is no reason for RBR and STR to change their existing deals either. Renault and Ferrari seem to have served them well (at least after Renault's performance equalisation).

There were rumours a month or two ago that Red Bull were trying to snatch the Mercedes engines away from Brawn.

that was what I remember too. also: isn't the limit actually 2 teams? - they had to get the agreement from all the other teams to allow Merc to supply Brawn
