Today is the 26th August and this is F1Minute.

Following hints by Red Bull that they would be introducing KERS at some point over the next few races, their supplier Renault have suggested they might do the same thing. Technical Director Bob Bell said: “We don’t plan to use it in Spa, but we’re considering it for Monza as we believe it will provide a real advantage there.” He also added that continuing to develop the R29 whilst working on the R30 is pushing the team’s resources to the limit, but thankfully next year’s regulations aren’t radically different from this year.

Meanwhile, another team considered to be struggling is Toyota, who openly admit that their manufacturer parent company haven’t yet signed off the budget for next year. Timo Glock has said he is a bit nervous about it: “For me, it is not an easy situation. You have to look at what options you could have if it goes wrong. But hopefully, everything goes as we planned it and I can stay at Toyota.”

That’s it for today, please join me tomorrow for another F1Minute.
