Red Bull's deal with Porsche faltering, making Honda a possible alternative

The deal for Porsche to take over fifty percent of Red Bull Technology in its entry into Formula 1 has stalled, making it possible for Honda to hook up with the racing team.

Honda is reportedly considering a possible comeback in 2026.

Bull Racing is said to be hesitant because it fears that Porsche's influence may become too great and the team is said to be considering alternatives.

Time is running out for Porsche, who has no alternatives.

The deal was supposed to be announced before the summer break, but the was delayed for various reasons.

Red Bull boss Helmut Marko said they were in the middle of 'complex situation' that cannot be resolved overnight, while team principal Christian Horner talked about many 'details to be clarified'.

Marko had expressed his concerns about the deal with Porsche and said Red Bull must not lose its own identity.
