Red Bull has dominated the last two seasons of Formula 1 but a big challenge is awaiting it in the coming years, according to Team Principal Christian Horner.
Red Bull Team Principal Christian Horner believes that people are underestimating the challenge the team faces in building its own Power Unit for the 2026 Formula 1 season. New technical regulations, including the biggest engine change since 2014, will come into play in just over two years. Red Bull has partnered with Ford to develop its own engine and is one of seven Power Unit manufacturers committed to the new regulations. An engine freeze allowed Red Bull to continue using the Honda-built engine, but the team accepts that its dominant position may be affected by the new regulations. Horner acknowledges that nothing lasts forever in F1 and emphasizes the challenge and excitement of taking control of the engine component. With 100 weeks until the rollout of a Red Bull-designed and manufactured engine, the team is on a good trajectory and has a great team involved in the process.
