I'm so confused, I always assume Horner is double speaking and shit talking but I can't quite figure out the angle here. Is it: "Go ahead and equalise the engines and fight amongst yourselves we have aero advantage anyway"?
Engine equalisation would cut development costs massively, figuratively speaking in any technology 95% of the performance is achieved with 50% of the budget, so the big spends are always on the tiny things that keep you ahead of the competition, if everyone is equalised then there is no reason to waste money on developments that get the extra 2 or 3 HP from the system.
This sounds so sensible that I am still shocked that Christian "It wasn't me" Horner has said it π.
I think Horner is for it because he knows it will harm the competitors more than Red Bull.
