Christian Horner makes strong Red Bull vow as Porsche takeover collapses | F1 | Sport

Red Bull boss Christian Horner has vowed to protect his team’s ‘DNA’, after their expected deal with Porsche was reported to have collapsed. Red Bull were set to join up with the German manufacturer in a proposed agreement that would come into play in 2026.However, a report from RacingNews365 has claimed talks over the deal have gone cold in recent weeks, with Horner looking to protect the longevity and independence of his team. Speaking to the media on the potential link up, he said: “Red Bull has always been a maverick brand, and we are an independent team and that has always been the way we work.“That makes us flexible and allows us to act quickly and efficiently. That is part of the Red Bull DNA. The engine project is, of course, a whole new and different challenge. “If there was someone we could partner with to work on that, it would make sense. At the same time, the Formula 1 team is the biggest marketing asset for Red Bull in the world , so why put that at risk in the long run?”JUST IN: Sebastian Vettel to be replaced at Italian GP practice by Lewis Hamilton back-up driver
