MONACO : Honda's move to provide Formula One power units to Aston Martin in a works partnership from 2026 is proof that the combustion engine still has a future, according to Red Bull team boss Christian Horner.
Honda have continued to build engines in Japan for world champions Red Bull, who have set up their own powertrains company in Milton Keynes and in February announced a new partnership with Ford from 2026."For me, it demonstrates that the combustion engine isn't dead yet, that there's still life in combustion, because obviously when they withdrew it was because of electrification," Horner told reporters when asked if he was surprised.
"Who knows? Maybe we'll get back to V8 and V10s that are fully sustainable. Wouldn't that be fantastic?" The last of the wailing and fuel-thirsty V10 engines disappeared from the grid in 2007, replaced by 2.4 litre V8s that then made way for the far quieter V6 hybrid engines from 2014.
