On September 4, 2026, Helmut Marko voiced disagreement with the FIA’s Additional Development and Upgrade Opportunities (ADUO) criteria, arguing that even though Red Bull’s in-house combustion engine, developed with Ford, has been identified by FIA findings as Formula 1’s best for two consecutive periods, it does not represent the optimal overall F1 2026 power unit. Earlier the same day, Max Verstappen confirmed that Red Bull continued talks with the FIA regarding the ADUO engine system after the governing body twice concluded that Red Bull-Ford has Formula 1’s benchmark combustion engine. This followed comments on September 2, 2026, when Helmut Marko insisted that Red Bull's technical department is fully capable of success despite the departure of Adrian Newey, who resigned in spring 2024 and officially joined Aston Martin in March of the previous year. Also on September 2, 2026, Red Bull officially confirmed the recruitment of long-serving Aston Martin engineer Tom McCullough as its future head of racing, securing a successor for Lambiase and aiming to shape its trackside operations.
