Christian Horner says the team will make its own engines in the city alongside the chassis by 2026.
Christian Horner said there is talent in the Milton Keynes area to make the team's new enginesThe team principal of the Red Bull Formula 1 team Christian Horner said the whole of the car would be built in Milton Keynes by 2026.The Japanese company officially pulled out of F1 last year, but agreed to continue to supply engines and engineering supportThe team have been based in the city, with Horner in charge, since it was formed in 2005.
Once the engines are built in Milton Keynes it will "be the only team other than Ferrari in Maranello [Italy] that has engine and chassis all produced on one site", he said. The 49-year-old said: "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."The plan is for the engine to be built on-site by 2026, which Horner said "in engine terms it is tomorrow". He said: "We've got 36-and-a-half months to produce an all-new engine and take on Ferrari, Mercedes, Renault and"So it's a huge challenge for us, but I think with the right people, with the right tools, with the right culture and approach, we can hopefully produce similar to what we have with the chassis.
