Racers in 2018 only three more engines for 20 races?

In the 2018 season, they are expected to race with only three power units, as this is expected to further reduce costs for manufacturers.

Engine manufacturers, of course, unanimously agree with the proposal, and cheaper engines could entice other teams that buy powertrains to support the proposal. Before the meeting at which the proposal is accepted or rejected, there will be so much again

The Mexican became Ferrari's test and backup racer last week, and brought his sponsor, telecommunications giant America Movil, to Maranello, which includes the Telmex, Telcel and Claro brands, whose logos will be visible on Ferrari's Kimi Raikkoten and Sebastian. Arrivabene warned that Gutierrez should not be underestimated. "Esteban is one of the racers who got into Formula One too soon. Talented racers must not step too fast
