梅基斯称多支车队关注红牛动力单元
红牛车队领队洛朗·梅基斯表示,多支车队对红牛-福特动力单元的性能表现出关注。
洛朗·梅基斯透露,在阿斯顿·马丁传闻的背景下,多支F1车队对红牛-福特动力单元表现出“关注”
红牛-福特动力单元在2026年非常有竞争力,那么他们未来是否会为更多车队提供动力单元,包括阿斯顿·马丁?从本周五起,在天空体育F1直播观看墨西哥城大奖赛的全部各节练习与排位
红牛车队领队洛朗·梅基斯谈到了他们是否可能向其他一级方程式车队供应其动力单元
红牛老板洛朗·梅基斯承认,已有多支车队关注其车队动力单元的性能。
今年早些时候,国际汽联认定红牛拥有最强的引擎,这一决定颇具争议,因为梅赛德斯获准进行升级,原因是他们在内燃机性能上落后红牛超过百分之二。
今年是红牛与福特合作打造自家动力单元的第一个赛季,很少有人预料到它在2026年就具备竞争力。

这与阿斯顿·马丁本田动力单元缺乏性能形成鲜明对比,该动力单元让费尔南多·阿隆索和兰斯·斯特罗尔大多只能在车阵后方竞争。
有传闻称阿斯顿·马丁正在评估与本田的未来合作,甚至有可能采用红牛-福特的动力单元。
“我们的引擎性能引来了大量不想要的正面关注,这当然也引起了众多车队的注意,”梅基斯说道。
“我们有没有认真和任何人谈过为另一支车队提供动力单元?没有,我们认为我们还没准备好。这件事在未来五年内是板上钉钉的吗?不是,因为我不知道未来五年会发生什么。”
“我们还有很多工作要做,以改进动力单元、完善其与赛车的整合,并达到顶尖竞争对手的水平。只有到那时,我们才能考虑在小红牛(小红牛)之外为另一支车队提供动力单元。未来一年左右不会有任何变化。”

梅基斯表示,红牛-福特动力单元项目在2021年从“零”起步,并在他们的首个F1赛季打造出有竞争力的动力单元,完成了“非凡的工作”。
他告诉天空体育F1:“人们意识到这是一台非常好的引擎。不过我们保持脚踏实地。我们认为最好还是专注于红牛和小红牛。”
“目前,你可能会看到赛车在赛道上平稳运行,但现实是,米尔顿凯恩斯的每个人都在日夜奋战,非常努力地让车队保持在合理状态以维持运转。”
“这仍然是充满所有这些挑战的第一年,所以在不久的将来,我们将专注于这两支车队。”
纽维:本田的新项目大有希望
阿斯顿·马丁本赛季仅获得七个积分,在车队积分榜上排名第十,尽管费尔南多·阿隆索表示,如果不是在奥斯汀周日与威廉姆斯的亚历克斯·阿尔本发生接触,车队本有望迎来迄今为止最好的一场比赛。
车队领队阿德里安·纽维表示,本田的差距“相当明显”,但他对这家日本引擎制造商的新研发进展感到鼓舞。
“本田——现在有很多能量和项目正在推进,这些或许还处于开发的早期阶段,但我们从中看到了很多希望,”他说。
“现在要评论动力单元在赛季初的确切位置还为时过早,也无法判断届时——假设动力单元咨询委员会(PUAC)允许——在第一阶段结束时的第八场比赛前是否会有进一步的研发。”
阿德里安·纽维回应了克里斯蒂安·霍纳在其最新回忆录中提出的批评。
本田的挣扎让人想起2015至2017年他们与迈凯伦的涡轮混合动力合作时期——那段时间他们从未拥有过有竞争力的引擎。
迈凯伦和本田在2017年底分道扬镳,本田从2018年起为当时叫红牛二队、如今叫小红牛的车队供应引擎,并从2019年起为红牛供应引擎。
在本田与红牛合作的第一个赛季,他们就在赛季揭幕战登上领奖台,马克斯·维斯塔潘赢下了三场比赛。
纽维表示:“目前,说实话,本田在某种程度上落后于红牛——作为厂队,红牛在2019年接手了本田。但那显然是在他们2015年首次回归后的四个赛季之后。所以,这只是回归的第一年。”
“他们是一家伟大的公司。我完全相信他们会迅速加速,并理解这些特定动力单元规则的问题。”

Laurent Mekies reveals 'attention from F1 teams' in Red Bull-Ford Powertrains power unit amid Aston Martin rumours
The Red Bull-Ford Powertrains power unit has been very competitive in 2026, so could they supply more teams in the future, including Aston Martin? Watch every session of the Mexico City GP from this Friday, live on Sky Sports F1
Red Bull team principal Laurent Mekies discusses whether they could supply other Formula 1 teams with their power unit
Red Bull boss Laurent Mekies has admitted there has been attention from "a lot of teams" about his outfit's power unit performance.
Earlier this year, the FIA deemed Red Bull to have the strongest engine, a contentious decision given Mercedes were granted an upgrade as they were more than two per cent behind Red Bull's internal combustion engine performance.
This year is the first season Red Bull, in collaboration with Ford, have built their own power unit which very few people expected to be competitive in 2026.

It is a contrast to the lack of performance in Aston Martin's Honda power unit which has left Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll mostly fighting towards the rear of the grid.
There have been rumours that Aston Martin were looking into their future with Honda and even the possibility of taking a Red Bull-Ford power unit.
"We got a lot of unwanted positive publicity about the performance of our engine, and that came with certainly attentions from a lot of teams," said Mekies.
"Are we having any serious conversations with anyone to supply another team? No, we don't think we are ready for that. Is it set in stone for the next five years? No, because I don't know what's going to happen in the next five years.
"We still have plenty of work to do to improve the power unit, refine its integration into the car and reach the level of the top competitors. Only then can we consider supplying another team alongside Racing Bulls. Nothing will change over the next year or so."
Highlights from the 2026 United States Grand Prix
Mekies says the Red Bull-Ford Powertrains programme have done a "phenomenal job" after launching from "zero" in 2021 to build a competitive power unit in their first F1 season.
"People realise it's a very good engine. However, we have our feet on the ground. We think it's better to concentrate on Red Bull and Racing Bulls," he told Sky Sports F1.
"We are, at the moment, you may see the cars on track running smoothly but the reality is it's days and nights, very hard work for everyone back at Milton Keynes to keep the teams in a reasonable condition to run.
"It's still the first year with all these challenges, so in the near future we will concentrate on these two teams."
Newey: A lot of promise in new Honda projects
Aston Martin have scored just seven points this season and are 10th in the Constructors' Championship, although Fernando Alonso says the team were on course for their best race yet on Sunday in Austin, if not for contact with Williams' Alex Albon.
Team principal Adrian Newey says Honda's deficit is "fairly clear" but is encouraged by new developments by the Japanese engine manufacturer.
"Honda - there's a lot of energy and projects on the way now that perhaps are in their early stages of development, but we see a lot of promise from those," he said.
"Too early to comment on exactly where the PU will be at the start of the season and whether then, assuming it's allowed under the PUAC [Power Unit Advisory Committee], there will be further development for what will be race eight at the end of the first period."
Adrian Newey addressed Christian Horner's criticism made in his latest memoirs
Honda's struggles are reminiscent of their turbo-hybrid partnership with McLaren between 2015 and 2017 - a period where they never had a competitive engine.
McLaren and Honda parted ways at the end of 2017, with Honda supplying Toro Rosso, now called Racing Bulls, from 2018 and Red Bull from 2019.
In their first season with Red Bull, Honda scored a podium in the season-opener and Max Verstappen won three races.
Newey said: "At the moment, in all truth, Honda are a little bit behind where Red Bull, as the works team, Red Bull, picked up Honda in 2019. But that obviously was four seasons after they first came back in 2015. So, this is the first year back in.
"They are a great company. I have every confidence that they will accelerate quickly and understand the problems of these particular PU regulations."
