Red Bull faces criticism from rival teams for increasing collaboration between Milton Keynes and its sister team, RB. The organization is the only one to have two F1 teams on the track. Red Bull entered Formula 1 in 2005 by acquiring the Ford F1 team and renaming it as Red Bull Racing. Almost a year later, they bought Minardi and rebranded it as Toro Rosso (now RB). However, concerns have been raised by competitors regarding this structure in recent months. The CEO of F1 has now confirmed that Red Bull may continue to own both teams in the future.
For the 2024 season, Red Bull has decided to further integrate its two teams. This decision has raised concerns from the CEO of McLaren, who believes it could harm competition on the track. However, in a recent meeting of the F1 commission, there were some positive developments for Red Bull.
During the meeting, the CEO of F1 addressed Red Bull’s ownership of the two teams. He stated that the energy drink giant can continue to own both teams, as it has been doing for almost twenty years. The Italian CEO emphasized the importance of the Austrian brand in the sport. It is worth noting that Red Bull saved numerous jobs when they acquired the struggling Minardi team before the 2006 season.
Since the adoption of the V6 Turbo hybrids in 2014, Formula 1 has faced criticism from fans. Many viewers have lost interest due to the lack of noise compared to the old engines. In 2026, the hybrid component will have an even greater output to ensure that power units remain relevant for road cars, with Audi and Ford joining the competition. However, the CEO of F1 believes that things can change in the future.
Le PDG a exprimé son désir de moteurs plus bruyants dans le sport. Il a mentionné que, s’il y a des progrès avec des carburants durables, la Formule 1 pourrait potentiellement éliminer les composants hybrides. Le changement le plus tôt possible pourrait se produire en 2030, selon le PDG de 59 ans.
Sans aucun doute, les fans de la F1 accueilleraient à bras ouverts des moteurs plus bruyants à l’avenir. Beaucoup se souviennent encore des rugissements des V10 dans les jours glorieux du sport avec Ferrari. Si la Formule 1 peut revenir à un niveau de bruit similaire, regarder un Grand Prix pourrait devenir un spectacle encore plus excitant.
