Red Bull are in America today to launch their new partnership with a large motor manufacturer... livery launch as well, assume it'll be on the '21 f1 show car again...
after last season they need to up their game.

Desperate for content.
Honestly, I hate the F1 off season much more than in footy.

Just seen this.
Just as an engine supplier?
Haas Ford / Andretti Ford?
Lots of fuzzy warm retro vibes (old Cosworth 60s/70s and McLaren Ford/Benneton Ford/Stewart Ford in the 90s) I'm getting off them back in F1 for some reason.

Nothing other than putting their name on the engines that Red Bull will be making themselves as far as I know.
Oddly, that's people who used to work for Honda, or were trained by Honda, to make and service the Honda engines - that Honda walked away from. And then signed up to come back in, with a new, different engine?
F1 is mad sometimes

i think merely as sponsor to red bull power trains, unless the Red Bull Org sell it to Ford perhaps? Does cosworth still exist? Assume that Ford have nothing much to bring to the table other than money, probably be the same setup as in WRC with Malcom Wilson up in Carlisle.
what a right fcuking hokey cokey that has been. Red Bull buy the IP, japan keeps going for a season or two while Milton Keynes gets up to speed. Half of brixworth are poached to Milton Keynes. Honda then dither over whether they're leaving or not. I "think" at this point Milton Keynes pivots to buildng the 2026 engine and Honda agree to keep their hybrid-turbo engine "ticking over" till 2026 out of Japan. Then there is rumour Honda will get into bed with Red Bull full time again, or VW or Porsche. Honda are linked to Andretti.
Now it looks like its Honda to 2026. RB PowerTrain badged Ford from 2026 & Honda go back to the land of the rising sun till a decades time when they come back again with a GP2 engine & quit on the cusp of competitive performance, AGAIN!
.
Gonna be a long year for this fcuker anarl...

anyone spot the difference?

And the teams are getting sniffy about Andretti badging Renault/Alpine engines as Cadillac…

As a cost cutting exercise they got rid of the professional photographer
Horner backing the Saudi's in his latest interview, good bedfellows.
