Last week, Audi officially confirmed a Formula 1 debut in 2026. It was expected to announce the return to the championship of the Porsche company, which will become the supplier of Red Bull Racing’s power plants, in the near future. At Spa, however, team leader Christian Horner said the decision on the partnership has not yet been taken.
Horner made it clear that the Red Bull Powertrains division, which will develop the powertrain for the 2026 season, does not need financial support from Porsche, and if the deal with the German automaker falls through, the powertrains will be Red Bull or another sponsor name. .
“We are working on the Red Bull Powertrains project,” Horner told reporters in Spa. “2026 is still a long way off, but before the summer break we started the first engine. We have a lot of time and we will make a decision that is strategically correct for the team and the company. The decision is up to the shareholders, but we will continue constructive negotiations with Porsche.
If we are talking about 2026, nothing has been decided yet. We created Red Bull Powertrains and employed over 300 people. Red Bull Powertrains will supply powertrains to two teams in 2026.”
