We've all heard complaints from the Red Bull team about their lack of pace, mostly blamed on their engine supplier, Renault. They've have even blamed Mercedes for dominating and making the sport boring (this was said at the Australian Grand Prix, 2 seasons after Red Bull dominated for 4 years). However, they cannot place the blame on everyone else; their chassis isn't very good either!
Let's admit it. Having an noncompetitive power unit is one of the worst things imaginable for a championship winning team, but you'd expect to hear Red Bull working together with Renault as hard as possible and to be positive whilst doing so.
Red Bull don't have much input in developing the Renault engine but they can provide support for them. This would prevent the two companies from falling apart and provide them with a brighter future. Red Bull hasn't seemed to do any of this and seem to be thinking about getting a Ferrari power unit in the back of their car.
Switching to a Ferrari engine goes against what Red Bull have said themselves: You can't win in a customer car. It would seem crazy to use the engine of your biggest rivals from the past few years, right?
High authority team members of Red Bull have stated that pulling out of the sport is an option but after 4 years of dominating, they'd just look like children who can't get their way then running away from their problems. I certainly don't want to see Red Bull leave the sport; they've already made their mark. However, they have to face their problems and improve as the championship team we know.
