Horner: 'Want to get biggest talent for engine project from 2022 onwards'

Red Bull's engine division is to be praised in the same way as the chassis division. For this category, Adrian Newey was brought in in 2006 and such a big name should now come to Red Bull for the engine section as well.

“We will be applying exactly the same philosophy that we did to the chassis side. So the intention, exactly as I did with the chassis, is to make sure we attract the right talent and the best talent", Horner told Autosport.com. Red Bull says it wants to attract the 'best talent' from Formula 1.

Many advantages for Red Bull

This week Red Bull began construction on its new state-of-the-art factory. The Milton Keynes-based formation believes that the engine factory should be located as close as possible to the building where the chassis is developed. “At the end of the day, F1 is still a team sport. It's a people sport. And that's one of the fundamental reasons that we’re housing our facility on site within the campus in Milton Keynes. It’s to make sure that there is this seamless integration between power unit and chassis", Horner said.

Red Bull thus becomes the second team in Formula 1 besides Ferrari to house its car and power unit operations in one location. Ferrari has been doing this in Maranello for years.
