Red Bull hoping to continue Honda partnership beyond 2020 F1 season

Christian Horner confirms Red Bull want to remain with Honda beyond the 2020 Formula 1 season. Honda haven't confirmed whether they'll stay in the sport after the rule and regulation overhaul which is set to hit the sport in 2021. 

And how can you blame Red Bull for wanting to stay with Honda? They've managed to win two Grands Prix during the 2019 F1 season in what was expected to be a transitional season. Especially given the apparent dominance of Mercedes. 

“Nobody has promised to stay in Formula 1 after 2020. So Honda is in exactly the same situation as every other team and every other engine supplier. They’re doing great so far and there’s an intention to continue this co-operation in the future. We certainly hope so and moreover I think that both parties can benefit from a longer co-operation," Horner is quoted by GPToday.net. 

Honda returned to the sport in 2015 with McLaren but failed to make any positive steps forward. After spending a significant amount of time, effort and money on the F1 engine, it would seem strange for them to leave so quickly after finding success. Having said that, the 2021 engines may be completely different.
