It was confirmed earlier today, that Aston Martin Red Bull Racing and junior team Toro Rosso have extended deals to use the Honda power units in 2021. Team principal Christian Horner has spoken following the announcement and is positive moving forward.

Red Bull Racing have been largely positive this season, particularly Max Verstappen who stands in third in the drivers' championship going into the final race of the season this weekend in Abu Dhabi.

I think overall there have been a lot of positives this year," Horner told RaceFans.

It always was going to be a transitional year with a new engine supplier.

We’re closer than we were 12 months ago.

"With the stability of the regulations over the winter of 2019 into ’20, I think there’s an awful lot of lessons to come out of this year into next year’s car.”
