Christian Horner says that questions about a possible Honda comeback should be asked of the Japanese automaker because Red Bull has its own plans.

Last season marked Honda's last official year in Formula 1. The company came out on top, with Max Verstappen winning the drivers' world title.

However, Honda kept one foot in F1, continuing its partnership with Red Bull in supplying and operating the engines for the main team and AlphaTauri.

Honda bosses also refused to rule out a return in the future. According to Michael Schmidt of , this could occur in 2026.

With Volkswagen getting closer to announcing that Audi and Posche will be on the grid in 2026, Schmidt assesses that this could inspire a return from Honda.

"If that happens, they could partner with AlphaTauri or even buy the Faenza team," he said. "We should know more after the summer recess."

However, if Horner knows anything or has heard conversations about it, he will not reveal.

"Should Honda decide to go back on their decision after 2025?" the Red Bull boss said. "That is a question for them. There is certainly no discussion with us about that."

"We opened the Red Bull Powertrains building this week, so the staff went there. It's a facility that should allow us to produce really competitive engines starting in 2026."

"We have an engineering partnership with Honda for engine supply until the end of the current regulations in 2025."

"Of course, there are discussions about Porsche and Audi possibly entering the category, and I think it's really exciting for F1 to have brands like that wanting to enter."

"But again, that depends on what the regulations will be like, the treatment of newcomers and many of those aspects."

Reports had suggested that Red Bull and Porsche would announce their future collaboration at the Austrian GP. However, with the 2026 regulations still undefined, Porsche is rumored to be waiting.
