The Honda engines were and continue to be designed and built in Japan. The only things that were done in Honda Racing Milton-Keynes were mapping and servicing. It's only those employees from Milton-Keynes Honda Racing which moved to Red Bull Powertrains, and for the purpose of servicing the Honda units -- they are not involved with the development of the 2026 units which is in a separate building for obvious reasons of protecting the Honda IP.
It should be understood that Red Bull Powertrains is two divisions:
- service and run Honda units until 2025
- design and build a Red Bull engine for 2026
These are not connected.
