F1 analyst and broadcaster Sam Collins reported on Monday vꦯia that Red Bull's plans have been “set back” with the team withdrawing their planning application for the new facility in Mil💮ton Keynes. 

There were suggestions this would cause a major delay to Red Bull’s future development, however, it has since emerged that the reason for the withdrawal of planning permission was simply down to the team finding a differe🌃nt location. 

Red Bull originally planned to construct the new facility near to the🌞ir technology campus in Milton Keynes, but have now found a more appropriat🌃e location. 

According to respected Dutch Fꦛ1 journalist Erik van Haren, Red Bull insiders insist this decision has “no influence on costs and planning”.&nbs💫p;

Red Bull hope to ﷺhave the new facility up and running in time for th✅e development of their 2026 F1 car.

The reigning world champions are currently in the process of carrying out a major expansion to their Milton Keynes headquarters, including the construction of a ne✤w Red Bull Powertrains facility that will be backed by Ford. 

An upgraded wind tunnel is long overdue for Red Bull, who have been using an old RAE Bedford research facility that was designed at the end of World War 2 to develop aircraft ever since their F1 arrꦑival. 

Last♐ year, Red Bu𝐆ll team principal Christian Horner described their current wind tunnel as being a “relic of the Cold War”. 

“We operate out of a w🐟indtunnel that is actually a listed bui𝕴lding, it’s a relic of the Cold War,” he said. “It’s not a state-of-the-art windtunnel that our competitors enjoy.

“It was built in the 1950s and it has its ♑own limitations when it’s either too cold or too hot at getting the conditions and the operating temperature at that tunnel to the r🐈ight temperature.”
