Red Bull team principal Christian Horner has spoken about the team’s upcoming transition as their successful partnership with Honda comes to an end after the 2025 season. Since 2019, Honda has played a crucial role in Red Bull’s championship victories, but from 2026, they will shift their focus to Aston Martin as a works engine supplier.
As Red Bull moves forward, the team is preparing to take full control of its power unit development through a new collaboration with Ford. Horner acknowledged the significant challenge ahead but remains optimistic about the progress of Red Bull Powertrains, which will supply engines for both Red Bull and Racing Bulls (formerly AlphaTauri).
In another major development, Mercedes has officially confirmed Toto Wolff’s replacement as team principal. While further details are yet to be revealed, this leadership change marks a pivotal moment for one of Red Bull’s fiercest competitors.
With the 2026 regulation changes approaching, both Red Bull and Mercedes are entering a new phase, setting the stage for an intriguing battle at the top of Formula 1.
