LONDON (Reuters) - Formula One teams and manufacturers voted unanimously on Thursday to end development of the current engines after this season in a move that paves the way for Red Bull to continue using Honda-designed power units.

Honda are leaving the sport at the end of 2021 and Red Bull had said their use of the Japanese manufacturer's engines beyond then depended on a 'freeze' because they could not afford to develop them.
