Honda and Red Bull are undergoing an “information war” over their F1 engine development as their relationship heads towards an eventual split.
Red Bull is set to team up with American car giant Ford from 2026, while Honda will become the official engine partner for the Aston Martin team at the same time.
The Japanese engine manufacturer currently supplies both Red Bull and their sister team AlphaTauri and the two parties maintain a strong working relationship. But with a separation looming in the not-too-distant future, the nature of their partnership is evolving. “Red Bull doesn’t tell us anything about their engine, and we don’t say anything to them about our development,” Honda Racing Corporation president Koji Watanabe told Dutch publication“So there is already a kind of information war going on at the moment. At Red Bull, they do have some knowledge about our current engine but, ultimately, we are responsible for the development and the whole process.“Until 2025, I hope Red Bull wins everything.
