Despite speculation that Red Bull wants to change its engine supply contract with Ferrari and pass the Maranello powerplants on to its sister-team, Toro Rosso, in favour of a possible Renault engine deal, Jean Todt has said that he has no real intention of changing the deal.

"If we have a contract we normally we try to respect our contracts," he said on Sunday evening, "so we intend everybody to have the same attitude. Unless (there is) clear evidence, which would really put us in a position to change something, which honestly I don't see now. We are intending to fulfil our contract and to supply them the engine for next year, unless they don't want the engine, but it's not something we are aware of at the moment."

Asked if Red Bull had spoken to Ferrari about the possible change to the contract, Todt said: I've heard about it".

"It's something we have discussed," he added, "and it's something at the moment we are not going to fulfil their wish, if there is this wish confirmed.

"But Red Bull is a very big company with a lot of people involved so let's say the people with whom I dealt for the contract seemed to be very happy with the agreement."
