Renault team boss Cyril Abiteboul sometimes lived at war with the Red Bull team management. Despite this, he does not blame the team and has a lot of respect for Red Bull. The Frenchman is of the opinion that the team with Honda does not actually perform better than with Renault.
“I think Red Bull is a fantastic team, but I think the team has not adapted sufficiently to modern Formula 1. You cannot have a loose organization for the chassis and for the engine, both of which are different”, says Abiteboul in conversation with, among others RacingNews365.
“At the start of the season, but also during the season, we saw that it is very important that you have to be a unit, a team with the same mentality. We have not been able to realize that together.”
Red Bull has been on the road with Honda engines for a year and a half now, but according to Abiteboul, little progress is visible: “Look at the performance with Honda, they are not able to really perform better. It shows how complex Formula 1 is and that perfection is needed to win, let alone beat Mercedes. “
