Williams could be power Mercedes 2014
The Williams team could be powered by a V6 Mercedes next season. According to the German press, the end of the Williams-Renault partnership has been officially recorded. In fact, many teams would have to change the engine block in 2014.
Williams had found the Renault early 2011 and at the same time success, with Pastor Maldonado in Barcelona in May 2012 engine. But the French Renault Sport F1 engine (RSF1) seems to be more expensive, too expensive for the less competitive teams to less prestigious results. Mercedes and Ferrari blocks should be more affordable.
Other changes to
The German newspaper Auto Motor und Sport claims that Williams has reached an agreement with Mercedes, while the Swiss publication Blick goes further by stating that the contract has already been signed. In addition to Williams, RSF1 could lose another customer, the team Caterham thinking be powered by Ferrari.
Everything should change or at most engine manufacturers. Toro Rosso Ferrari happen to Renault, with its big sister Red Bull is already a customer. The Italian firm therefore would equip the Scuderia course, Sauber, maybe Caterham but Marussia, the Cosworth engine is caused to disappear.
Mercedes have three customers, Force India, Williams if the information is confirmed and McLaren for a year before returning to Honda in 2015 (the latter will propel at least one other team also). RSF1 would lose Williams and Toro Rosso Caterham but recover, in addition to retaining Lotus and Red Bull. All this of course remains to be confirmed in the coming months.
