Verstappen not worried about Red Bull’s 2026 engine

Max Verstappen says he’s not worried Red Bull may fumble the ball with the all-new engine regulations in 2026.

The currently dominant Formula 1 team has committed to designing and building its very own engines for the next set of rules in collaboration with Ford.

But recently, team boss Christian Horner sounded the alarm about the 2026 engine rules, warning that as currently written, drivers may need to lift the throttle on the straights to save electrical power.

Triple-world champion Verstappen, however, said that does not mean Red Bull has discovered that it may have bitten off more than it can chew.
