Porsche ready to buy 50% stake in red Bull‘s formula 1 operations prior to his intended entry into motorsport as an engine manufacturer in 2026. While the entry of the German luxury car maker F1 Officially yet to be announced, reports suggest that the two companies will sign a deal for 10 years.
The deal will be split into two parts, with the first setting up a joint venture between red bull racing And Porsche to develop a new power unit. The second part is Porsche’s acquisition of a 50% stake in Red Bull Technology – the company responsible for supplying cars to Red Bull Racing and its sister team AlphaTauri.
Porsche’s Red Bull Racing Formula 1 team is also expected to take a 50% share. However, the team is expected to remain entirely in the hands of Red Bull. Porsche and Red Bull appeared set to confirm their partnership at the energy drink company’s home Austrian Grand Prix earlier this month, however, the FIA World Motorsport Council failed to ratify the new engine rules for 2026, as of June was expected at the end of the meeting, resulting in the delay of the announcement.
Porsche and Red Bull are expected to issue an official statement confirming their partnership in the coming weeks. Audi is another subsidiary of the Volkswagen Group that plans to enter Formula 1 as both a constructor as well as an engine builder. However, it is expected that Audi will buy out the existing team rather than enter motorsport with the new one.
