However if Porsche is doing the engine with redbull they'll be fine because they won't be starting from nothing. I doubt it would be a 50 50 collaboration because redbull won't want to lose a bunch of knowledge if Audi pulls out. I think it will be fully developed by redbull and Audi does a small bit of contributions. But there's no guarantee it'll be good, redbull has zero engine building knowledge, and same as Audi.

That's why Red Bull keeps the Japanese Honda Engineers at Red Bull Powertrains .
And they got some from Mercedes as well..
MKsixer said more than once to me : Red Bull is just an energy drink maker .
But meanwhile they run the number 1 car !
