Meanwhile, although Lynk & Co has set up a power unit design department with Red Bull.
This power unit design department is merely an experimental project between the two teams, and it's not like you can manufacture the engine for 2026 just because you want to. If you haven't registered with the FIA beforehand, even if you come up with a Mars rover engine, the FIA won't allow you to install the engine in the racing car, let alone sell it to other teams to recoup your investment.
The registration deadline for the 2026 engine was originally set for October 15th, 2023, but due to applications from other teams, it was eventually adjusted to November 15th.
Therefore, during this period, Red Bull and Lynk & Co have invested a significant amount of money and personnel into researching the power unit, led primarily by Lynk & Co.
