This means Red Bull and Honda's successful relationship – which includes winning two drivers’ championships and a constructors’ title – will come to an end in 2025, and Horner was full of praise for the Japanase manufacturer, calling them an “incredible company”.

“We've had an incredible partnership with Honda and when they initially announced their withdrawal from Formula 1 in 2020, it was with great sadness and that's what prompted the creation of Red Bull Powertrains, to take control for our own future,” he said.

We have a great working relationship, they are an incredible company and under the current regulations, we will be pushing with Honda all the way until the last race of the 2025 season.”

Ford announced their return to the sport on Friday, almost 20 years on from their last participation in Formula 1, and Horner explained the benefits of this new partnership for his Red Bull team.

“This is a purely commercial and technical deal, so there is no exchange of any shares or participation within the business,” Horner revealed.

“Today was about launching the team's aspirations for the year ahead, the partners that we have and of course the exciting announcement with the Ford partnership.
