The RB17 will get a 1,100hp V8, cost from £5m and have F1 levels of performance...
has been acknowledged from the start. But the corporate divorce between Aston and Red Bull Racing after the carmaker acquired its own Formula 1 team also ended future plans for collaboration between the two companies – with Aston taking development of what is set to become the Valhalla in-house.
If anybody else was promising this you’d likely be throwing bread rolls, yet Newey is both one of the most famous and talented designers in Formula 1, and also a man with an obsession with high performance machinery that goes well beyond Grand Prix racing. Remember the X2010 that Red Bull created for the? That was Newey’s take on what a no-rules racer would look like: the first sketch makes the RB17 seem only slightly less extreme.
The RB17 will be developed and built by Red Bull Advanced Technology, on the same 290 acre ‘campus’ in Milton Keynes that the Formula 1 team is based on, with the two divisions working closely together. Key components will be built internally, including the car’s structure and – according to somebody familiar with the project – also its gearbox.
But that really is the plan. “The Valkyrie AMR Pro is designed to have performance similar to an LMP1 car,” our insider told us, “but the RB17 is going to move that much closer to a Formula 1 car.”
