Renault chief Cyril Abiteboul is worried that Honda have ramped up investment in their Formula 1 project to find a way to success with Red Bull next year but insists that his team will focus on their own plan and are prepared the play the long game.
Speaking to MN, Abiteboul admitted, "Frankly I'm worried about everything in life, but in particular about a situation on the engine side. As we've seen since last year, Honda is making big steps, big gains."
"Red Bull has been very clear that they are investing massively, and apparently much more than us," added the French team chief with reference to comments made recently by Helmut Marko and echoed by his colleague Christian Horner.
"We are happy for Red Bull and Honda but frankly we have our way to do things. We have a plan and we are executing that plan. It's not just about an arms race."
"We have all the aspects of the package to develop. No one is providing anything to us, either in the powertrain or on the chassis, so it has to be step by step. We are very confident in our upgrade for next year. We want to play the long game," added Abiteboul.
