Red Bull believe Aston Martin will gain more independence in their operations after cutting ties with Mercedes to sign an engine supply deal with Honda.
Aston Martin have had their engines supplied by Mercedes since 2009, including when they were known as Force India and Racing Point. But from 2026, the Silverstone-based team will leave that partnership, having inked a deal with Honda instead.
And Red Bull boss Christian Horner believes that the change can give them a boost as they look to challenge for championships. Horner hailed the English side for building a team that is capable of battling his title winners.
