# Ferrari happy to supply Red Bull with engines in 2016

Ferrari team principal Maurizio Arrivabene says his team would be happy to supply Red Bull with engines in 2016.

Renault will no longer supply Red Bull with engines in 2016 after the latter requested their deal to be terminated.

It is unlikely Mercedes will provide Red Bull engines in 2016 thus leaving them one option, Ferrari.

Arrivabene told [Motorsport.com](https://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/ferrari-would-have-no-problem-with-red-bull-engine-deal) that he would have no problem in providing a rival with a competitive engine – as it is good for the sport as a whole.

“It is very difficult to talk about other people,” said Arrivabene. “In theory they have big names, with \[Adrian\] Newey as chief designer and it is easy to think that if you give them the engine they will build a scary chassis, which means they will be really competitive.

“Concerning my team, my engineers and aerodynamicists know their own jobs. For that reason I don’t have a problem, and competition is nice when you have a stronger competitor.

“This doesn’t mean tomorrow morning we will give our engines to Red Bull or Toro Rosso.

Unlike Mercedes, who will not power Red Bull due to fears they will have stiffer competition in 2016, Ferrari is happy too.

“But I don’t see any kind of problem to give our engine to any other team or be scared of the competition before they start.

“This is not the right spirit of competition or what Ferrari represents. We fight with everybody.”
