F1 News: Christian Horner Reveals Huge Future Plans For Red Bull Powertrains

Christian Horner has spoken out on the capacity plans for Red Bull Powertrains.

Red Bull team chief Christian Horner has revealed that Red Bull Powertrains will have the capability to be the supplier to other teams as they plan to be future-proof. 

The Austrian team will be building their own powertrains from 2026 in partnership with Ford as they part ways with Honda. 

During an interview with PlanetF1, Horner revealed that they plan to have capacity to supply powertrains for four teams but they are keen to "walk before they run". He explained:

“I think we want to walk before we can run. I think servicing the two teams under the common ownership makes perfect sense.

“We are an independent engine manufacturer. We have a great relationship with Ford, which is working very well, [but] essentially, we’re an independent engine manufacturer and that has longer term strengths and advantages as well.

“If in the future we’re attractive to customers that’s something we’d certainly be open to, to supply more teams in the future. But I think, as I say, we want to establish ourselves first and earn our stripes.”

Horner continued:

“We’ve geared our facility for circa four teams so that’s something that we will be capable of doing longer term,” Horner said of their future potential.

“But I think our focus is very much on first establishing ourselves and getting a group of people to be integrated with the chassis team, to work as one collective unit. It’s an enormous, enormous undertaking but we’re on that journey and we’re making reasonable progress.”
