Red Bull sporting developments

Overview

Red Bull is undergoing strategic shifts across different racing disciplines. In MotoGP, the brand is reportedly planning to return to Honda for the 2027 and 2028 seasons through a sponsorship agreement, moving away from its recent partnership with KTM. This transition follows underwhelming performances from Honda riders and a reported desire to revitalize the manufacturer’s presence in the series.

Simultaneously, in Formula 1, Red Bull Racing technical director Pierre Waché has announced plans for a major overhaul of the team’s car design for the 2027 season. The team intends to carry over very little from the current RB22 model to the upcoming RB23, prioritizing significant improvements in aerodynamics, packaging, and mechanical components such as the chassis and gearbox to maximize performance.
