Snap-On in Partnershipwith red bull powertrains
INNOVATION ATFULL THROTTLE
A high-performance partnership delivering precision, reliability, and results on and off the track.
Red Bull Partnership
Red Bull Powertrains was created in 2021 to supply power units to Oracle Red Bull Racing and Scuderia AlphaTauri for the 2022 Formula One season and beyond.
When Honda announced it was to exit Formula One at the end of the 2021 season, Red Bull created the new power unit division based at the Red Bull Technology Campus in a purpose-built, state-of-the-art facility.
Red Bull Powertrains currently works alongside Honda on the engines and will continue to do so trackside until the end of the 2025 season when the next generation of engines will be introduced. Red Bull Powertrains is working to develop a power unit that complies with the 2026 regulations. Powering the highest class of international open-wheel racing requires tools with strength, precision, and reliability, driving Red Bull Powertrains to form a technical partnership with Snap‑on. This development is underway in its newly built State-of-the-art factory at the Red Bull Technology Campus in Milton Keynes, led by the talented engineering team specifically hired for this new challenge in the team’s history.
Snap-on have been providing hand and power tools for use on the manufacturing floor and in the testing labs, all of which will be secured in its Level 5 Automated Tool Control (ATC) solution.
These tools, coupled with the most sophisticated tool management technology in manufacturing, further contributes to the success of the Red Bull Powertrains operation. Snap-on is a long-time technical partner and recognised expert in providing innovative, high-quality tool and equipment solutions for a range of professional motorsports teams where criticality and urgency are essential.

“There is a reason top motorsports teams from as early as the 1920s have relied on Snap-on to power their cars to victory lane. Through research, development, and innovation, Snap-on builds distinct advantages into our products by pushing boundaries of what is possible,” said Jesus Arregui, Senior Vice President, Snap-on Incorporated and President, Commercial Group.
“With this collaborative relationship, Red Bull Powertrains is now able to tap into our over 100-year history of product innovation rooted in observing work to take their racing program to new heights. We are very excited by our partnership with Red Bull Powertrains.”
Christian Horner, Oracle Red Bull Racing Team Principal and CEO, and CEO of Red Bull Powertrains said: “Our business has evolved significantly over the past 10 years. This new partnership with Snap-on is another example of how we are choosing only the most sophisticated partners to help us reach our goal of winning more world championships. With the hand and power tools that Snap-on will provide to our world class team at Red Bull Powertrains, I am very confident for our future.”
