RED BULL RACING REPLACES RENAULT WITH HONDA

Red Bull proudly announce that it has reached an agreement with Honda to race with the Japanese manufacturer’s power units for the 2019 and 2020 Formula 1 seasons. The Team will continue to race under the name of Aston Martin Red Bull Racing. With this announcement, the 2018 season brings to an end the Team’s 12-year relationship with current power unit supplier Renault.

Team Principal Christian Horner said: “This multi-year agreement with Honda signals the start of an exciting new phase in Aston Martin Red Bull Racing’s efforts to compete not just for grand prix wins but for what is always our goal – championship titles. We have always taken decisions such as this dispassionately and with only one criteria in mind – do we believe the outcome will allow us to compete at a higher level.”

"After careful consideration and evaluation we are certain this partnership with Honda is the right direction for the Team. We have been impressed by Honda’s commitment to F1, by the rapid steps they have made in recent times with our sister team Scuderia Toro Rosso, and by the scope of their ambition, which matches our own. We look forward to working with Honda in the coming years and to racing together in pursuit of F1’s biggest prizes."
