Both the energy drinks company’s teams, Red Bull Racing and AlphaTauri, will be secured with power units until the end of the 2024 season.

“The establishment of Red Bull Powertrains Limited is a bold move by Red Bull but it is one we have made after careful and detailed consideration.” 

Team boss Christian Horner also said, “We were understandably disappointed when Honda made the decision to leave the sport as an engine manufacturer, as our relationship yielded immediate success, but we are grateful for their support in facilitating this new agreement.” 

Honda will still continue to provide power units to both teams as a formal supplier for the 2021 season. But coordinating with the infrastructure setup in Sakura, the outfit will look to house a registered powertrains company at their own factory site in Milton Keynes from 2022 onwards.
