Christian Horner does not want to say much about the possible arrival of Mercedes engine genius Andy Cowell. Honda announced this month that it will no longer continue to supply engines in Formula 1 after the 2021 season. This means that Red Bull must look for another supplier or buy Honda’s F1 department. The latter seems to be the option the Milton Keynes team wants to choose.
It is then a temporary option until a new engine manufacturer joins Formula 1 in 2026, this could become Volkswagen / Porsche. Until then, Red Bull needs some engine knowledge and they want to acquire that knowledge with Cowell from Mercedes. Horner just doesn’t want to say much about that. “There are stories about this”, the Briton says in conversation with AUTOhebdo when asked about his interest in the motorcycle guru. He is currently still employed by Mercedes, so they have to hope that he chooses Horner’s team. “I don’t know what his plans are, but I do know that he is currently still working for Mercedes.”
Red Bull Racing can also opt for a Renault or Ferrari engine, but Helmut Makro prefers not to. Buying the rights from Honda seems like a better choice, but nothing is concrete yet. “We still have to process everything, but of course we will look at what the most competitive engine is,” says Horner
AlphaTauri and Red Bull Racing must use the same engines. Helmut Marko has confirmed this. The AlphaTauri team boss has also intervened now. “We want to continue to strengthen the synergies between the teams. I don’t want AlphaTauri to have to design its own gearboxes, rear suspension and other components again, ”says the Austrian team boss.
