he uncertainty regarding Red Bull’s future in Formula 1 remains a hot topic but it appears a deal to secure an engine supplier for 2016 is fast approaching.

Amid quit threats from owner Dietrich Mateschitz if a competitive engine cannot be sourced, the Milton Keynes squad has been left in limbo after failing to strike an agreement with either Mercedes or Ferrari.

However, it transpires after terminating its contract with existing supplier Renault, the relationship with the manufacturer is not beyond repair with hope a new deal can be struck to ensure the team remains on the grid.

Reports emerging this week have suggested Red Bull are in talks to run rebranded Renault power units next season.

While Red Bull or Renault are yet to make any official comments regarding next season, the squad has decided to adopt the French manufacturer’s updated engine for this weekend’s Brazilian Grand Prix.

The new power unit was made available at the US Grand Prix but neither Red Bull or Toro Rosso decided to fit the unit to its cars.

Daniel Ricciardo will be the recipient of the engine this weekend receiving a boost of around two tenths of a second per lap according to Renault bosses. However, it will come at a cost of a 10 place grid penalty.

The move could further indicate Red Bull’s plans to continue with Renault as it looks to refine its troublesome power unit for 2016.

Ricciardo’s progress will certainly come under scrutiny but if the engine successfully delivers Re-nault’s projections it could be the first sign of a brighter future for Red Bull and Renault in 2016.

Meanwhile, fresh from his success in Mexico, Nico Rosberg will head to Interlagos brimming with confident having beaten rival and newly crowned world champion Lewis Hamilton in a head to-head fight.

The title race has gone against him for a second year in succession but momentum is key in this sport as Rosberg aims to build confidence for a title assault next year.

Defeating Hamilton in back-to-back races would certainly send a message to his rival as 2016 looms.

Red Bull’s glimpse into the future?

Circuit Guide

Interlagos is always one of the more challenging circuits in that it invariably throws in a few surprises. Historically it has been the final race of the season, which always incites unusual behaviour from the drivers. Seemingly normal procedures such as pit lane entry, for example, can often catch people out.

Drivers know the regulations, however it is far from uncommon to see penalties awarded for repeated infringement of the pit lane entry boundaries, which are slightly unusual at this circuit. Beyond the men behind the wheel, however, there are plenty of unique characteristics which add to that unpredictability factor in São Paulo.

The climate is highly variable, with rain often washing out the majority of running before clearing to leave an entirely dry day on the Sunday. This has produced some fascinating races over the years as teams and drivers must adapt quickly to a suddenly unfamiliar set of conditions.

Elevation changes around the circuit also lead to rivers forming across the track

during sustained periods of rain, which can often lead to sessions being suspended.

Track temperatures too can vary significantly, reaching levels as high as 48 degrees and dropping as low as the early twenties. These shifts can occur not only from season to season but from day to day, making it tricky to predict the best set-up direction for each session. Track Surface The track has just been resurfaced almost in its entirety, which provides an unknown factor heading into the weekend that cannot be underestimated. Sochi was a case in point, with unusual tyre behaviour arising during the race in particular. The extent of this can depend on the quality of the surface, how long it has been laid down for and the materials used. The smoothness of the surface will also be a factor, with the significant bumps that have historically been a feature of this circuit potentially now negated. Grip levels too, both at the start of the weekend and as running progresses, will have an effect on how many adjustments will need to be made

from run to run in order to keep up with that track evolution. These are all questions which must answered as swiftly as possible. Again, this may well bring a few surprises - particularly with a softer tyre compound allocation that traditionally seen here in the soft and medium.

Overtaking Brazil often sees high quantities of overtaking manoeuvres - and not always at corners which might be expected to create such opportunities. The DRS runs into Turns One and Four are the most obvious opportunities, however is it not uncommon to see drivers mak-ing bold moves at places where it might not be imagined possible. This will be a particularly interesting factor with the freshly laid track surface for this year, as drivers explore grip levels around different parts of the circuit. The first corner also often sees a high attrition rate in terms of contact - particularly on the first lap - which again will be exaggerated by a lack of grip level understanding.
