Red Bull's decision to build its own engines, and go without Porsche involvement for 2026, is a 'very bold strategy' - according to Mercedes F1 boss Toto Wolff ⬇️
Mercedes boss Toto Wolff believes Red Bull going ahead with plans to build its own Formula 1 engine is a"very bold strategy" after the collapse of its talks with Porsche.Red Bull recently brought negotiations with Porsche over cooperation on its 2026 power unit project to an end, leaving Audi as the only Volkswagen Group brand on the grid when the new regulations come into force.
Wolff said that it was a shame that Mercedes will now not be able to fight with Porsche unless its fellow Stuttgart manufacturer can find another route in."Being self-sufficient is clearly a scenario that Red Bull have always wanted to achieve, have their own power unit, not be dependent of any other OEM.
"It's a shame obviously, from me as a Mercedes person, it's a shame that we can't fight with Porsche. Porsche-Red Bull would have been a mega entry. A great brand.
