Red Bull’s 2023 F1 car used the Honda RBPTH001 power unit, badged as Honda RBPT for that season. The RB19 was powered by that Honda-built engine package in the 2023 Formula 1 World Championship.

Quick Scoop

  • Engine: Honda RBPTH001.
  • Badging in 2023: Honda RBPT.
  • Car: Red Bull RB19.

What that means

Red Bull was no longer using a straight “Honda works team” setup in 2023, but Honda’s power unit technology still powered the car through Red Bull Powertrains branding. Reports from the 2023 launch also identified the RB19’s engine as Honda, while Honda’s own materials describe the RBPTH001 as the unit powering the RB19.

Bottom line

If you want the short answer: Red Bull F1 used Honda-based power units in 2023, officially referred to as Honda RBPT / Honda RBPTH001.
