Remembering that Webber wasn't at 100% and that RBR took 6/7 races to get the DDD onto the car, must be on Horners mind. I bet he is praying that they dont have to redesign their car to suit a new engine. So I think the doubt over RBR's engine is all on Renault. I would bet RBR -given the choice- would keep Renault, but... will they have that choice?

Ch should be worried, if he really doesn't know which engine to use the project would be in stand by at the moment..but he seems really calm. Maybe they're developing on a mercedes base, even if 4 mercedes team seems too much.. but we should have 4-5 cosworth teams so why not? also the fact Mercedes team still doesn't sign heidfeld as a second driver could mean they're waiting for kubica, in case renault will retire..
