Red Bull Racing F1 2027: drivers, Ford-backed engine and race planning

Red Bull Racing F1 2027 drivers: Verstappen and Hadjar

Max Verstappen, from the Netherlands, drives number 3. He is a four-time world champion (2021 to 2024), has 73 wins and took the 2026 Bahrain and Singapore Grands Prix. He debuted in 2015.

Isack Hadjar is French, was born in 2004 and drives number 6. He debuted in 2025, has been with Red Bull Racing since 2026 and is confirmed for 2027. He has no wins yet, so his progress is one of the stories to follow through the season. Standing alongside a four-time champion is a demanding job, and watching how he handles it at different circuits is part of the appeal of a live weekend.

Red Bull Ford engine in Red Bull Racing F1 2027

In-house power for Red Bull Racing F1 2027

Since 2026 the team has built its own engine through Red Bull Powertrains in partnership with Ford. The 2027 unit carries the Red Bull Ford name, and it also powers sister team Racing Bulls.

Why the new engine matters to Red Bull Racing fans

Developing a power unit from scratch is a long project, and every season brings visible progress for spectators: straight-line speed, reliability and race pace all show how the work is going. The shared engine also links the two sister squads, so you can follow both teams' progress on the same weekend. Our F1 teams 2027 page lists every engine supplier for comparison.

Milton Keynes base and Red Bull Racing F1 history

The official entry name is Oracle Red Bull Racing, and the factory is in Milton Keynes, England. The team joined the grid in 2005 and has won 6 constructors' titles, a record built in a little over two decades.

Laurent Mekies is listed as team principal. The squad has a reputation for strong pit stops, aggressive strategy and a loud, orange-clad fan base. If you want to feel that fan energy, look for the sections of the circuit where supporters of Verstappen gather, which are usually obvious from the flags. Many fans travel in groups and book far ahead, so the best-placed seats for these areas tend to go early.

Where to watch Red Bull Racing F1 2027

The team races at all 24 rounds of the F1 2027 calendar. Pre-season testing in Bahrain takes place from 24 to 27 February and the season opens there on 14 March. The Austrian Grand Prix at Spielberg on 11 July is a natural pilgrimage for Red Bull supporters because of the team's Austrian connection, and Silverstone on 4 July is close to the factory.
