What Engines Are in Red Bull F1 Cars?

Honda (2019-2021)

Red Bull Racing partnered with Honda from 2019 to 2021. During this period, the team used the Honda RA619H hybrid power unit. The RA619H was a 1.6-liter V6 turbocharged engine with a single turbocharger and a single motor generator unit (MGU-H). The MGU-H recovered energy from the exhaust gases and stored it in a battery. This energy could then be used to power the car’s turbocharger or to provide additional power to the rear wheels.

The RA619H was a powerful and reliable power unit. It helped Red Bull Racing to win 17 races and two drivers’ championships during their partnership.

TAG Heuer (2016-2018)

Red Bull Racing partnered with TAG Heuer from 2016 to 2018. During this period, the team used the TAG Heuer TAG Heuer F1 MGU-H Hybrid power unit. The TAG Heuer F1 MGU-H Hybrid was a 1.6-liter V6 turbocharged engine with a single turbocharger and a single motor generator unit (MGU-H). The MGU-H recovered energy from the exhaust gases and stored it in a battery. This energy could then be used to power the car’s turbocharger or to provide additional power to the rear wheels.

The TAG Heuer F1 MGU-H Hybrid was not as powerful or reliable as the Honda RA619H. However, it was still a competitive power unit. It helped Red Bull Racing to win three races during their partnership.

Renault (2014-2015)

Red Bull Racing partnered with Renault from 2014 to 2015. During this period, the team used the Renault Energy F1-2014 power unit. The Renault Energy F1-2014 was a 1.6-liter V6 turbocharged engine with a single turbocharger and a single motor generator unit (MGU-K). The MGU-K recovered energy from the brakes and stored it in a battery. This energy could then be used to provide additional power to the rear wheels.

The Renault Energy F1-2014 was not a competitive power unit. It was underpowered and unreliable. This hindered Red Bull Racing’s performance during their partnership.

Infiniti (2013)

Red Bull Racing partnered with Infiniti in 2013. During this period, the team used the Infiniti VR30A engine. The VR30A was a 3.0-liter V6 naturally aspirated engine. It was not a turbocharged or hybrid engine.

The VR30A was not a competitive engine. It was underpowered and unreliable. This hindered Red Bull Racing’s performance during their partnership.
