In this historical period, the ten Formula 1 teams are equipped by four engineers: Mercedes, Honda, Ferrari and Renault. The release of Honda at the end of the season will result in Red Bull taking over the Japanese business, with the expansion of the Milton Keynes headquarters and the creation of a power unit sector that will develop the engines currently supplied. But Formula 1 is already looking to the future and it is no mystery that important discussions are taking place on the next generation of engines – probably starting from 2026 – which will allow other manufacturers to evaluate entry into the category, one above all Volkswagen. , through its Porsche and Audi brands.
Whoever has ambitious plans for the future is certainly theAston Martin by Lawrence Stroll, who is leaving no stone unturned in his run-up to the top. The Silverstone factory now has 593 employees, with 35 vacancies, there will be a new wind tunnel and a state-of-the-art simulator, to reach the level of Mercedes, Red Bull and Ferrari by 2024. According to Michael Schmidt of Auto, Motor und Sport, the Canadian tycoon would be thinking of raising the bar further: “In the paddock it is said that Stroll plans to build his own engine, based on the Red Bull model. It is no coincidence that he asked to enter discussions on the engines of the future, to have a say. But even with the simpler 2026 power unit project, building the engine on his own would be too big for a private team and Stroll would have to look for a partner. Which is not entirely impossible, because F1 is once again attractive to car manufacturers, as shown by the interests of Audi and Porsche ”.
