Red Bull team principal Christian Horner says it would be "horrible" to see the 2018 Formula One world championship decided on engine penalties, following the sport's move to three engines for the entire campaign.
Drivers were permitted an allocation of four power units during 2017, but that number will be reduced to three this season in a bid to lower costs. Certain components of the engine will be cut to just two units for the whole of 2018, despite an additional race and concerns over the three-engine target following a plethora of reliability issues that notably curtailed Honda and Renault on a spate of occasions last year.
