Sometimes everything is not as it seems in F1. Ahead of Red Bull taking over Honda's engine project, and creatively calling the engines... 'Red Bull', Edd Straw looks back at some of the more imaginative names given to F1 powerplants in the past.

Really it was Heidfeld who helped Sauber in 2001 as he outperformed and outscored Kimi.

6:40 I'm sorry for nitpicking but in 2001, heidfeld is more consistent, got a podium, and score MUCH MORE than kimi, yeah ofc kimi was a rookie and he's doing fantastic but give some credit to heidfeld pls, he is underrated enough and you decide to underrate him more by simply forgotting about him

An honourable mention should also go to Toro Rosso in 2017, their 'Renault' engines were badged as... Toro Rosso, for sponsorship purposes.

Top quality video. How many years/times did Mercedes put their badges on Ilmor F1 engines before they 100% took over the company? There was a great story of Ilmor testing for a big Indy Car race with Mercedes waiting at the gate with a truck load of stickers. It was quick, so they handed Ilmor a wad of cash, proceeding to rebadge it just in time for the race which iirc they won.

You know in the early 60's there was an engine supplier called Climax. It w was the engine that helped Jack Brabham (Brabham Climax) and Jim Clark (Lotus Climax) to win 2 championships respectively. Imagine having that name in our times ;)

@13:20 .... Cans of Energy ... thats the most proper name for red bull engines... however .. i do not look at that with a lot of optimism... building engines is a whole different ballgame to producing energy drinks and investing money to have your name on things

call it what it is, honda...they are honda engines...maybe they might consider coming back to the sport if they get the recognition they deserve in their eyes. honda has a long and great history here and itd be a shame to continue this global sport without the great history honda brings.

Fun fact: in the 2000 season, all 11 teams had differently-badged engines, partly thanks to the Fondmetal/Playlife/Petronas deals. By 2014, there were only three different engine badges on the grid - Ferrari, Mercedes, and Renault. I really miss the engine diversity of 2000s F1.

@Dominik Krzemiński BMW and Toyota pulled out after 2009, Cosworth pulled out after 2013, and Honda didn't return until 2015. 2014 only had three engine suppliers.

It really was great how many engine suppliers there used to be, including those private ones. Even midfield teams like Tyrrell could have their own works deals, instead of having to settle (and pay) for customer engines by default.

What made some of those engine names more weird? The pronunciation used for some of them in this video. Petronas was perhaps the worst. I love the details added in through the research, but give the narrator a chance with names by researching their pronunciation and giving them at least a basic phonetic form to use as part of the script.

1. Mugen is NOT owned by Honda so get over it people. 2. Congrats to the FIRST person who noticed DRs 2018 China win missing and nice try to all you imitators out there who saw that comment and then put your own acting like you know sh!t. 3. Same to those saying Megatron should be no.1 like you could remember and hadn't watched or jumped to the end of the video. 😂🤦♂️

Mugen has always had very close ties to Honda: it’s founder was the son of Honda’s founder. It was also badged Mugen-Honda, as Mugen were the ones who prepared the engines and also continued to develop them in the mid-1990s when Honda dropped out of their F1 involvement before coming back at the end of the decade.
