Red Bull Powertrains (RBPT), the engine division of Red Bull Racing, will initially not supply its powertrains to other teams in the championship, but according to Christian Horner, this may change in the future.
“As we will be a completely new engine manufacturer, we will initially only supply engines to our two teams,” Horner said in an interview with RacingNews365. – If we had waved for more, I think it would have been beyond our means.
I think we want to start by focusing on maintaining the two Red Bull teams. The interest from other teams is great, at least two of them have already shown it, but we are not ready for that yet.
Our production capabilities will allow us to supply engines to other teams in the future, but we will probably need to focus on Red Bull Racing and AlphaTauri for the first few years while we work on setting up this business and the work of our specialists in the field of racetracks and in general all processes related to the supply of engines.
When Horner was asked if the FIA could oblige the RBPT to provide powerplants to one of the newly discussed new teams, he replied: “They can, but probably not unless some teams leave the championship. other engine builders. Such a requirement is in the regulations for motorcycles, but I think the probability of such a development of events is zero.
Horner also stressed that Red Bull has no plans to sell the AlphaTauri team, and he supports this view of the company’s shareholders.
