There is some history of third parties putting their name on an engine built by a manufacturer...TAG and Mugen f'instance....IIRC.

Turns out you were pretty damn correct with that guess. Looks like RB is going to try and buy the Honda IP and keep making the engines themselves if they can get an engine freeze from 2022 on.

I'm actually interested in this. Might be fun to have Red Bull as true works team and engine manufacturer now. Might even poach Haas as a customer.
