There was a lot of hype surrounding Porsche’s imminent arrival in F1. However, their deal with Red Bull fell apart, most probably because the German company wanted an equal share of control. Meanwhile, the Milton-Keynes-based team has not let the news deter them. Helmut Marko has now hinted at a shock return with Honda.

Red Bull is confident that even if things do not work out between Honda, they don’t need anyone and are completely self-sufficient. Senior Advisor Helmut Marko also told that since the deal with Porsche is now off, they are planning something ‘interesting’ with Honda.

The Austrian said“If we talk about synergies and benefits, we are open. And now that the break with Porsche has become official, we’ve gotten some surprising interest. And we are talking to Honda,” (Translated with google translate)

Marko is not worried about the future either. He said, “At present, we are in a good position. We have the fastest driver until 2028, we have Adrian Newey, the best designer. We have an engine factory that will be fully operational in 55 weeks. The first engine has already been started and this means that we are enough alone, we are completely self-sufficient ”

Red Bull’s fallout with Porsche might potentially be a blessing in disguise. As a team, they are well prepared for the present as well as the future.
