Honda to leave Formula 1 at the end of 2021

This puts Red Bull in a somewhat precarious situation.
They didn't part well with Renault - and I doubt that they'll consider Ferrari unless Ferrari significantly improves in 2021....
 
Indeed, but I don't know what Mercedes will do when their racing team is no longer Mercedes.

Cheers,

There was an interesting interview with several stakeholder. Toto Wolff is already protecting Mercedes by telling he has customers enough and won't deliver to Red Bull. Ferrari and Renault will deliver. Cyril Abiteboul (Renault) had the most realistic answer. As he said it is simply in the rules that we have to deliver. As the problem will only arrive in 2022, Red Bull has still quite some time to think and the current situation might be quite different next year (does he know something we don't?).

Cheers,

Seems RBR is looking to buy the Honda IP, as their factory is already in England, and continue to develop their own engine.
On a side note, one of the Mercedes engine gurus will become available next year..
 
Not sure why F1 doesn't adopt the Indycar engine rules.. 2.4 liter V6, twin turbo, hybrid and a power output of 800-1,000 hp. Chevy and Honda (Back) to F1, Ferrari can step into indycar.
Try to run it on synthetic fuels, should be more useful than all the electro stuff that no one really cares about and barely has practical use in road cars.
