RED BULL IS ALSO HAVING ISSUES WITH THE 2026 ENGINE

"What does seem proven is that Milton-Keynes is encountering enormous integration problems between the combustion engine and the electrical system. They can't quite get the hang of making them work together. The two elements work fine separately, but they're struggling to get them to share their energy in unison."

"Given this situation, in coffee shop chats and hallway discussions, what's being discussed internally is that someone has floated a possibility: continue using the Honda engine next year. In doing so, use Racing Bulls as a guinea pig, with whatever Red Bull Powertrains is capable of creating, regardless of its current state."

And the million-dollar question arises: can this be possible? The answer is yes, it can. Apparently, Ford has a contract with Red Bull Austria to govern the designs of its two teams. When considering this possibility, everything suggests that the contract states that they must use their engines, or propellants associated with their name, but it doesn't stipulate which specific team or how many they must use . This detail is discussed within the blue team, and it's something that, without being able to see the contract, is impossible to verify.
