Red Bull iꦬs facing anotherꦫ two-week wait for a vote on whether Formula 1 will introduce an engine freeze from 2022.

According to team advisor Helmut Marko, Red Bull has agreed on a deal to continue us✱ing Honda’s power unit after the Japaℱnese manufactur👍er leaves F1 next year, a move which depends on a vote to freeze engine development.

That v🐽ote was expected to take place on Monday but it has been delayed and will♍ now not take place for at least another two weeks when the F1 Commission next meets in February.

"The agreement that still existed on Friday was no longer t🅰here on Monday,” Red Bull motorsport advisor Dr. Helmut Marko told . 

"There are more talks and negotiations.”

Following Honda’s decision to pull out of F1 at the end of the 2021 season, Red Bull has made it clear its intention is to take over the intellectual property of the Honda engine rather than becoming a customer of a✨nother manufacturer, something it believes would hamper its bid to challenge reigning w⛎orld champions Mercedes for world titles.

In order to avoid the high costs of developing the engine in-housಌe, Red Bull has been pushing for a freeze on F1’s engine specification to come into effect from 2022, allowing both Red Bull and its senior team AlphaTauri to continue running Honda’s power units.

After initially b🌟eing against the idea of an engine freeze, Red Bull’s rivals Ferrari have since come around to the proposal, while Mercedes has also indicated its support.

Sh༺ould Red Bull fail to get the green light to continue running Honda engines, Renault, as the manufacturer supplying the fewest teams, would be obliged to pr♐ovide Red Bull power units.

Despite admitt🦩ing tha🌊t Red Bull would have to “drastically rethink its F1 situation” should the engine freeze proposal not go ahead, Marko has insisted the team’s stance is not “blackmail”.
