And more specificly, Red Bull's Ferrari engines. Have they made a big mistake in changing from Cosworth? I think they have, and will regret it! |

I don't think they made a "mistake", since we don't know the long-term running, but right now any team that passed on Cogsworth is feeling kinda bad (and Williams is LOVING not being with BMW). |

That's right, but if you look at which engine maker has had the worst reliablilty - it turns out to be Furry 'Arry |

While McLaren's engines so far look reliable! Who would have thought that after the preseason McLaren have had. |

In hindsight yes...but who'd have thought that Cosworth would have been able to develop such a good V8? They've been on the back foot for years, and without Ford backing, no one would have expected them to make such a great engine. Apart from Frank evidently

Wasn't the Cosworth DFV a V8? now they are free of Ford I expect cosworth to get better and better. |

Yes, I believe it was...but that was many, many years ago. Engines have changed a lot since then I'm sure. They've done remarkably well, because they can't have a great deal of money for R&D. |

I feel that Cogsworth is using this to prove they can still build top racing engines, so they're probably putting a large amount of R&D into this. If they stay fast and reliable, I can see more independent teams moving to Cogsworth from other manufacturers (especially from those who also have a works team - e.g. Ferrari). |

It's not long since Cosworth supplied 30% of the grid. all the time let down by poor chassis design to go with the engine. now we have a Cosworth in a Williams - watch it fly, or outlast everyone else. |
