For the past two years, Red Bull has been getting all the responsibility for providing breaking news in Formula One. In 2021, the controversial title win, and in 2022, the cost cap was breached. In addition, the stunning constructors win after eight years and numerous little attention-gaining news. Recently, another worth-discussing news is being emerged in the Red Bull Formula One kingdom regarding engine manufacturing. Whether this news is official or not is still unclear, but strong rumors have been aired so far that Red Bull will launch their new F1 engine partner on the NYC car launch day.
In the 2026 new engine regulation, Audi is one of the new entries. They registered their entry in Formula One during the 2022 season. However, F1 has extended the deadline in hopes of getting more entries. And probably, Red Bull, too, is coming in the 2026 engine deal with their own Power Trains. Recently, a dispute has been recorded between Red Bull and Honda’s partnership.
Despite their long-term partnership, Red Bull is not available with Honda’s support in their own success of the Power Trains launch in 2026. And so the Milton Keynes-based team remembered one of their old partners, Ford. However, most likely, RB will head solo. But if needed, they will ask Ford for the marketing perspective as there has been a fluctuation in Formula One’s popularity.
Several New Entries In The 2026 Formula One Engine Regulation, Including Red Bull
On February 3, Red Bull is launching their 20223 championship-winning single-seater. Meanwhile, according to Auto Motor Und Sport, FIA’s president, Moahmmed Ben, has announced that in a very short time, like within next week, another engine manufacturing company could sign for the 2026 engine developments. The president said it at the Monte Carlo Rally. Listening to these statements, people started believing that he was indicating Ford’s registering in Formula One, along with Red Bull.
However, as there has been no word exactly predicting the above, is still a mystery. We will have to wait to know if it is Red Bull or anyone else. However, the launch of RB19 is going to be one of the biggest launches that have already been admitted by the team. So it will be no shock if the team reveals their new engine partner name on February 3.
Nevertheless, Audi’s venture into Formula One has raised doubts regarding its sister brand, VW Porshe. Besides, the Japanese engine supplier Honda is also overcast as taking a step back into F1 in 2026 as an independent, viable option. Meanwhile, one of the most linked entries coming in the 2026 engine deal is none other than The United States Andretti. They have recently attempted to join forces with General Motors. And according to Motorsportweek, this move of Andretti will encourage Cadillac to take part in the sports world.
