Yup. Red Bull were always quick to mention & thank Renault during their successful years together. It was a very healthy partnership. Unfortunately, Red Bull just doesn't have the patience to wait for Renault to get up to scratch and now they're having to deal with that.
and a pizza hut! McDonald's!
I would advise against clicking if you value the rest of your day. (nothing NSFW or anything, just annoying and will be stuck in your head). There is a better version with overweight kids singing it but I couldn't find it in a brief search.
Renault have spend 0 tokens to catch up, patience is all fine and well, but they wasted 100 of millions of dollars on their cars this year, have a bunch of pissed off sponsors that aren't paying midfield prices for a place on that car and will lose out on more money for next year due to their lower position in the standings.
I can't blame Red Bull in the slightest for falling out of love with the Frenchmen.
They haven't spent any tokens because they've been focusing on the reliability and driveability of the engine - something they announced before the European leg of the season.
The way Red Bull have treated Renault has been totally unprofessional.

Turrini says Alonso has a performance clause in his contract and Briatore is trying to get him in a Red Bull next season.
Mystic Eddie says VW are close to buying Red Bull Racing.

He has a habit of teasing some of the bigger F1 announcements like Schumacher back in F1 at Mercedes and Hamilton leaving McLaren.
It would be huge for F1 if it were true

If VW/Audi got into F1 we would have a show on our hands.
Then BMW would be all like heh can't let the other Germans have all the fun.
Finally Ford would be involved after a successful 2 years of the Haas GP team. Supplying an American team, American engines.
Who am I kidding.

They can't possibly do worse, at least.
I was addressing your point about Renault having not used any tokens. But by all means, go ahead and shit-talk everything in the sport. The rest of the thread has been all year.
Haven't Red Bull been trying to find a buyer Toro Rosso for like...over five years?
I'm sayin the Renault is shit and saying their excuse at the first few races doesn't quite hold up eleven races later (not to mention that increasing reliability and using engine development tokens aren't even mutually exclusive), but that's fine. I guess my opinion on RB being right in not being happy that their business partner is not upholding their part of the business is reason enough to blame me for the entire thread's supposed hive mind opinion.
Man, your springboard for jumping to conclusions is a lot higher quality than mine. I should get one of those
Really though, let's both stop being sarcastic fucks and start focusing on the important issue at hand.The likelihood of Audi being in F1 is higher than ever!
STR will have to hope that Renault is interested in buying them over Lotus.
RBR has every right to be upset at Renault. They're still their partner though, be mad in private not public.
Helmut Marko threatens that Red Bull will exit F1 if they can't get good engine

I'm now certain to be disappointed with anything less than this.

Driving the Lotus 2015 F1 car in Forza 6 with no TC makes you appreciate the amazing throttle control these drivers have because the torque to weight ratio on these turbo hybrid cars is nuts. So, so easy to overheat the tyres being too hard on the throttle.
Audi-Redbull starting to sound more legit

Brundle said that the Renault/Lotus deal is basically done.
So VAG have repeatedly denied being interested in F1, have expressed nothing but contempt at the poison dwarf being in charge, currently invest massively in other forms of motorsport where they are successful, have just seen Honda fail partly due to stupid rules, have seen a drop in popularity for the sport, are already looking at budget cuts and may be facing an immense EPA fine... /breathes
And on top of all that people still think they would be interested in racing in a league that exists purely to pad Bernies wallet and doesn't even race in their own country anymore. Right.

I really hope this is true if only for a nice new Renault livery on the grid.

I'm not convinced either. Red Bull wants a competitive engine for 2016 and VW can't just pull one out of their ass.
Being one of the biggest companies in world with a slush fund of 5 billion a year and growing probably helped ease the burden for the little independent team.
This, Audi's involvement can only be beneficial in the long run while they don't even have engines for next year.
The article I had read said that they wouldn't use VW engines until 2018 and would use Ferrari in the interim.
Ferdinand Piech was the guy that despised Bernie, and he was ousted in ~April.

Wait, what year is this? Vettel over 8 tenths quicker than anyone else.
Ferrari looks good.
Have no doubt that they only want to help Renault enough to keep them in the sport because it makes Mercedes look better when they completely floor multiple power units.

It's in Mercedes' interests to keep Renault involved in the sport, as it's in a pretty dire situation without them.
