Shorts: Red Bull Racing, Rpa, Luton Town
Christian Horner, the team principal of the UK-based Red Bull Racing Formula 1 team, has claimed that the whole of the team’s racing car will be built in Milton Keynes by 2026.
Currently, only the chassis is built at the factory, with its engines produced by Honda. The Japanese company officially pulled out of F1 last year but agreed to continue to supply engines and engineering support until 2025.
Horner commented, “We’re bringing the whole car here on site at Milton Keynes.
“We’ll have engine designers and chassis designers sitting side-by-side, so absolute vertical integration of those disciplines. I think for Milton Keynes, for the UK, to have that based here, is testimony to the skill set that is in the area and the talent we’re able to attract.”
Red Bull Racing has been based in Milton Keynes since the team was formed in 2005.
