What a strange off-season.

Looks like they just want to rebrand RBPT engines and that's it.

Another one interested but Honda won't want Ford stickers on it's PU's.

Honda is considering buying out Alpha Tauri right now.

It's Red Bull Power Trains as of 2026, Honda is out.

Honda has registered with FIA for '26 PU rules and RB is ''open to potentially partnering with Honda''

Yeah but RBPT is a manufacturer too so they wouldn't be able to work together unless it's Alpha Tauri.

We'll see how it pans out up to '26.

Unless it's a GT350 then it's first to blow up on track day.

True and many other Fords past, present or future I’m sure. Somehow they’ll figure out how to get an electric car to blow up.

This might just be more noise than anything but the more these reports come out, you have to start wondering why the interest gets out out there.

RB/RBPT might be second thinking their strategy, not in error but because of how fast things are changing and will change. Mercedes, Ferrari and soon Audi are all manufacturers that have that powertrain advantage because of any association with their passenger car business. Red Bull doesn’t have any of that.

It might have been feasible for RB to go in-house with their PU before but not so sure how sustainable it would be for them to go it alone now with more manufacturers likely entering as full works team.

Exactly my friend

The 2026 F1 Power Units: How can a battery produce 475 hp ?
F1 becomes half Formula E !

In other words : 350 KW = 476.84 HP

This means that a 2026 F1 PU will run with 50% electric power .
If HONDA can show this in 2026 , Red Bull would be very glad to 'still get a HONDA PU .

Of course ,the batteries charge speed is always very important as well .
Just like the 2022 FIA fuel pump regulation , A 'FIA battery for all the teams would be like fight with equal weapons regarding the electric power ...

And the 2026 combustion engine ?
OC . According to the new regulations : It/We shall be 'GREEN like grass !
So ,do we run with a 3 cylinder-1000 cc/Twin-Turbo 500 HP motorcycle engine in Formula 1 ?
And flying at 215 mph with the sound from my expresso machine !

I'm already sick of it !

From the idiot governments,to the submissive manufacturers who toe the line blindly into F1, what a total sh!t show.

RBR might be on a sticky wicket with this one asking for the biggest amount of cash with just 'that' manufacturers sticker on their own in-house PU and as you say no one in hell knows what kind of PU it's going to be except it will lose the MGUH and have an increase in electric power to 350kW, Fia is twiddling its fingers and waiting like a lap dog for something to happen themselves.
