The Red Bull Formula 1 team, which has used Honda engines in the past seasons, will switch to its own engines in cooperation with Ford as of 2026.
Bulls boss Laurent Mekies hopes the engines can compete with traditional manufacturers Mercedes and Ferrari.
“It must be madness to start producing your own engines. Only Red Bull can get involved and start producing their own engines when their competitors have been doing this for 90 years. Tough months are ahead and it’s hard to hope that we’ll come up with a top-level engine right away.”
“But I am proud of our partnership with Ford. We will have a difficult start, but we will see,” Mekis said.
F1 will have new regulations on engines and aerodynamics from the 2026 season.
