It's not the first time Red Bull have wanted Mercedes power. Back in 2009, RBR was looking at Mercedes power for the 2010 season.
Adrian Newey: "The Mercedes engine enjoyed a good advantage over the rest of the field last year. The lap time difference was significant – several tenths of a second. And when you have to find that kind of performance from the chassis, that’s quite a big ask.
"But in the end Brawn and McLaren blocked us from having the Mercedes engine."
I doubt Mercedes will have an issue supplying RBR PU's if they wanted them. I think they would see it as a plus.
