Christian Horner insists Red Bull’s F1 2026 engine pᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚroject is “hitting the targets” that have been set out.

F1 will switch to revised power unit r🅠egulations from 2026 that will see the MGU-H component dropped, with a greater emphasis placed on electric power provided by the MGU-K, and the adoption of sustainable fuels.

For the new reg♈ulation cycle, Red Bull and sister team RB will use engines developed by their in-house Red Bull Powertrainsꦓ facility at Milton Keynes. Ford will be working with Red Bull to develop the next-gen power unit.

There have been suggestions that Red Bu𝐆ll🌠 are behind rival power unit manufacturers and rumours of set-backs, but Horner has moved to alleviate such concerns.

“We are hitting the t💖argets that we're setting ourselves,” he told .

“Now, how those targets stack up to our competitors is always difficult to know. But the effort that's going in behind the scenes is huge, because it is literally a🥃 race against the clock to the start of 2026.”

Horner continued: “With the engin🀅e, we're on an aggressive curve being a brand new power unit manufacturer. But the team is really rising to that challenge.

“Our facilities are complete, both from a test and development point of view with dynos and rig rooms, etc, and manufacturing capability♋.

“But two years in the engine world is a very small period of time. We🌳're on a steep learning curve, but we're on that curve and where we would expect to be on that c♏urve at this point in time.”

Red Bull potentially running into problems with their engine project has been cited as a possible reason for 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Max Verstappen to consider his future with the team. 

But the three-time world champion recentl൲y downplayed such fears, in꧑sisting it is far too early to be concerned.

“I mean, if I have to speculate about everything... I might be worried if I'm still alive tomorrow, right? So, I don'🔯t really worry about that too much,” Verstappen said

"Of course, I am in close contact with Christian about that and the people working there.&ღnbsp;Everyone's working flat out, so there is no need to panic about that. It's stil♛l not 2026.

"We know that it is a very big task, we don't take that lightly. And of course, with so many well-established engine manufacturers, we🌞 also don't think it's going to be easy to beat them.

"But we have a lotꩲ of good people working on the project and we're very excited about it. So time will tell, of course, where it✨'s going to be."
