Red Bull plans to take over engines

“If the discussions with Honda go well, we would like to take over the IP rights and everything that is necessary and then prepare and use everything ourselves in Milton Keynes,” said the Red Bull motorsport consultant on Sunday in the AvD Motorsport magazine Sport1 . However, the prerequisite is “that the engines are frozen in the first race of 2022 at the latest. “We cannot afford further development of the engines either technically or financially,” explained the Austrian. What are the other options? Honda, power unit supplier to Red Bull and AlphaTauri, announced on October 2 that it would be leaving at the end of next season. Although there are three other manufacturers in Formula 1: Mercedes, Ferrari and Renault, each of these options is difficult. Red Bull is the Mercedes works team's biggest rival this year, and McLaren will also become a customer of the world champion racing team in 2021, which will then equip four of the ten teams. Ferrari currently has the weakest drive and is therefore not very attractive; Red Bull only separated from Renault at the end of 2018 amid strife. This is why Marko recently did not rule out the exit of the two teams from the brewery empire. There are no new manufacturers in sight, especially since new engine regulations are expected for 2026.
