From 2026, the Milton Keynes team will no longer be a mere assembler, but a full-scale manufacturer. The new Power Unit, born from the Red Bull Powertrains division in synergy with Ford, represents a leap into the dark that Mark Rushbrook (Ford Performance) describes as a climb into the unknown. With the Barcelona tests just around the corner, the pressure is at its peak: the goal is to avoid being caught unprepared by the historic giants of engineering.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An ambitious project, which Ford Performance Director Mark Rushbrook himself compared to climbing Mount Everest, echoing a famous definition by Toto Wolff. Despite the scale of the challenge, Rushbrook ensures that preparation is proceeding according to plan and that the work carried out in recent years has established a solid foundation.

This is a key milestone, not only from a technical standpoint but an emotional one as well. Rushbrook does not hide a certain degree of nervousness: it is only natural when a completely new engine hits the track for the first time.<br>  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Technical_Sheet_2026_Power_Unit_Characteristics\"><\/span><strong>Technical Sheet: 2026 Power Unit Characteristics<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The new 2026 regulations bring a revolution: the MGU-H disappears, and the electrical component takes on a role equal to that of the internal combustion engine. Here are the main details of the Red Bull-Ford project: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><td><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>Technical Sheet: 2026 Power Unit Characteristics<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>Note Progetto Red Bull-Ford<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>Architecture<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">1.6-liter V6 Turbo<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Developed in <a href=\"https:\/\/it.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Milton_Keynes\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/it.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Milton_Keynes\">Milton Keynes<\/a><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Total Power<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Over 1,000 HP<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">50% thermal \/ 50% electric distribution<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Electric Part (ERS)<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">350 kW (approx. 475 HP)<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">300% increase compared to 2025<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>MGU-H<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Abolished<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">To reduce costs and complexity<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Fuel<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">100% Sustainable E-Fuel<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Partnership with Aramco\/technical partners<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Fuel Flow<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Limited by energy (no longer mass)<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Extreme focus on thermal efficiency<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Virtual simulations, computer models, and test bench work have allowed the development and calibration of each component, but only the track will tell if everything works as expected. The risk of discovering variables not revealed in the lab is part of the process, especially in such a complex project. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Power_reliability_and_drivability_the_three_pillars_of_development\"><\/span>Power, reliability, and drivability: the three pillars of development<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The development path of the 2026 power unit has been structured progressively. First, the increase in power, then achieving an adequate level of reliability, and finally, a new step forward in terms of performance. In recent months, however, the focus has shifted to an often less visible but fundamental aspect: drivability.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s not just about how much power the engine delivers, but also how it is perceived by the driver and how easy it is to manage on the track. At this stage, the work focuses on calibration and tuning, using a combination of simulations, bench tests, and simulator sessions with the drivers. According to Rushbrook, the objectives set at the beginning of the program have been met on schedule.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Red_Bull_against_the_giants_the_gap_with_Ferrari_Mercedes_and_Honda\"><\/span>Red Bull against the giants: the gap with Ferrari, Mercedes, and Honda<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the big questions concerns the absolute level of the Red Bull-Ford power unit compared to historical competitors. Rushbrook confirms that internal objectives have been achieved but admits it&#8217;s impossible to know where Ferrari, Mercedes, and Honda have set the bar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The definition of targets, he explains, started from the technical rules: from there, it is possible to calculate what is theoretically possible and set a realistic goal. In principle, all engine manufacturers should aim for similar values because the laws of physics are the same for everyone. The real difference, as always, lies in the efficiency with which theory is transformed into real performance on the track.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Red Bull&#8217;s chief engineer, Paul Monaghan, hinted that it might be normal to start slightly behind on the internal combustion engine front, as it does not represent a total revolution compared to the past. However, Rushbrook downplays this possible gap: if it exists, it will be minimal and can be compensated in other areas of the power unit, also thanks to the experience accumulated by technicians from different programs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_FIA_%E2%80%9Cparachute%E2%80%9D_to_avoid_a_new_2014\"><\/span>The FIA &#8220;parachute&#8221; to avoid a new 2014<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To prevent the risk of prolonged dominance like that seen in 2014 with Mercedes, the FIA has introduced a rebalancing mechanism linked to the performance of the internal combustion engine: the <a href=\"https:\/\/f1.newsauto.it\/formula-1\/aduo-f1-motori-regolamento-2026-come-funziona-7948\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ADUO<\/a>. After three blocks of six races, data will be analyzed: those between 2% and 4% below the best engine will benefit from an extra update, while those exceeding a 4% gap will have two. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rushbrook views this solution positively, considering it an advantage for the sport as a whole because it ensures everyone the chance to remain competitive. At the same time, he rejects the idea that it is a sort of Balance of Performance: in Formula 1, he emphasizes, it remains a pure technological battle, regulated by common rules, very different from the endurance racing context. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The real answer will only come from the <a href=\"https:\/\/f1.newsauto.it\/formula-1\/date-test-f1-2026-barcellona-bahrain-tv-streaming-11475\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/f1.newsauto.it\/formula-1\/date-test-f1-2026-barcellona-bahrain-tv-streaming-11475\">Barcelona tests<\/a> and, perhaps, from the first races of the season in Australia. For now, however, there is cautious optimism at Red Bull-Ford. The challenge is enormous, like climbing a mountain, but the work done at Milton Keynes and the quality of the people involved make them believe they are on the right track. Only the track, as always in Formula 1, will say if the summit can truly be reached.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Do you think Red Bull will manage to win right away even without Honda&#8217;s support? <strong>Share the article on your social media<\/strong> and let us know your opinion in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/newsauto.it\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/newsauto.it\">comments<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Do you want to delve into the regulations or discover the secrets of other teams?<\/strong> Read more similar content found below in the TAG list.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With the end of the Honda era, Red Bull is preparing to face one of the most complex challenges in its Formula 1 history.
