Red Bull admits it is taking 'a certain risk' in building its own F1 engines for 2026, but is confident that it will be 'competitive' come the next rules cycle.
In the wake of Honda's decision to pull out of F1 in an official capacity at the end of 2021, Red Bull decided to bring engine development in-house at a new division on its Milton Keynes campus.
Despite admitting Red Bull has taken a"certain risk" by building its own engines rather than leaning on an existing manufacturer, Marko doesn't think the team will be at a disadvantage. "You also have [Ford's] expertise in the turbo sector that is a very important addition for us. And with this know-how addition, we believe we will be competitive."Photo by: Red Bull Content Pool
"An extension for the ERS activities is under construction, that should be completed in one to two months, so we are right on schedule."
