Red Bull and Renault kiss and make up
Red Bull advisor Helmut Marko says that the Constructor's row with engine manufacturer Renault is over and that the two parties have agreed to work together to solve their problems
"We have met and decided on how we will work during the remainder of the season," Marko has been quoted as telling Austrian broadcaster Servus TV.
"We do not have to love each other, but we do need an engine that works.
"Under the current regulations it is impossible to close the gap to the leaders, but in the past we got used to winning even though our engines were not the most powerful.
"We can all see what Ferrari has managed to do. According to Renault engineers, we will reach this level by the end of the year and once again be able to fight at the top.
"It was decided to postpone the debate and focus on working together to get us out of this situation."

Remi Taffin, Renault’s F1 operations director, said he can understand Red Bull’s frustration.
“It was a setback for Red Bull. They’re not used to having their cars so far back,” he told the French broadcaster Canal Plus.
“But we have had only the second race. In neither race has Red Bull been able to show what is really possible, and in Australia the blame was partly ours.
“At Sepang it was better from our side, and we got a taste of what to expect from Red Bull-Renault,” added Taffin.
“As for us, the season actually began in Malaysia. By China, Red Bull will have solved its problems, and then the fun begins.
“Of course I am not saying that we will win the race, but we have a lot of potential for development, both on the engine and the chassis side.
“We did not become four times world champion in a row by chance. Red Bull is good at developing a car, and it will pay off sooner or later,” he added.
