Confirmed: Toro Rosso using Renault turbo engines for 2014 and onwards

It has been confirmed this week that Toro Rosso will be powered by Renault engines from the 2014 Formula 1 season onwards, both parties announced at a press conference hours before last weekends Monaco Grand Prix. Toro Rosso is supplied by Ferrari this season, but will switch to the French manufacturer for the start of the new turbocharged V6 era. This means both Red Bull and Toro Rosso teams will be using the same Renault turbo engines for 2014 onwards.



In my opinion, this is no major surprise that the news has happen. As this has been rumoured for a few months now that Toro Rosso will be swapping over to Renault from the 2014 onwards.

This week won't be the last of the engine deals, as rumours strongly suggest that Marussia is said to be close to a deal with Ferrari engines for the 2014 season onwards swapping from Cosworth engines. While, strong rumours also suggest that Williams may swap over from Renault engines to Mercedes turbo engines for 2014 onwards. As Mercedes turbo engines are suppose to be much cheaper than the turbo Renault engines as rumours suggests around €7million cheaper they're offering for 2014, so don't be surprise if this deal does happen before the British Grand Prix.

End of blog for how, new post soon. Bye.
