Red Bull team principal Christian Horner has dropped a hint Red Bull could secure an agreement with Aston Martin to su🥃pply new Formula 1 engines in the future.

After the rapid-fire announcements of McLaren splitting with Honda to take up Renault engines for the next three years, with Toro Rosso securing a Honda deal for three seasons and Carlos Sainz heading to Renault for 2018 as a sweetener in the complicated contracts speculation has grown that Renault will pull out of it⭕s Red Bull supply deal at the end of next year.

While Horner has confirmed Red Bull will receive Renault engines for 2018 the Milton Keynes-based team has been linked to a number of future engine suppliers includiꦛng Honda and Porsche from 2019 onwards if it loses its partnership with Renault.

Despite the ꩲrumours, Horner says no❀ firm deal will be in place until next year but hinted at a deal with another manufacturer which already has ties to Red Bull.

“There should be another announcement fairly soon that won’t be with Porsche. It isn’t a Porsche one,” Horner told Sky Sports F1. “We have a relationship with a motor manufacturer already and you haven’t got to be a rocket scientists to work out wha♔t that𒈔 is.”

Red Bull started a technical partnership with Aston Martin at the beginning of 2016 which has seen Adrian Newey take on a road car desꦆign role alongside his F1 duties. The partnership has already heralded the launch of the 💎Aston Martin Valkyrie, previously titled the AM-RB 001, while Aston Martin badges adorn the Red Bull Racing livery.
