I suppose Red Bull will run their homespun engines for at least the next two years until Volkswagen enters in 2024. When Volkswagen arrives, many (myself included) expect them to compete under the Porsche brand. So... the Red Bull-Porsche team in 2024? It does have a nice ring to it.
With all of the brands under their ownership umbrella, Volkswagen could switch up the branding whenever they want, which is what they did with their Le Mans program a few years ago (Audi and Bentley). Volkswagen currently owns Porsche, Audi, Bentley, Lamborghini, Skoda, Seat, Cupra and even Ducati.
Envisioning the internal conversation (in German, of course) amongst the top VW brass, "Hey, guys -- so where do we see sales sagging for this year?"

I didn't know of the VW connection. Perhaps Red Bull-Skoda would work. 
I didn’t either. I think it would be a Porsche engine and the Andreas Seidel connection makes senseI didn't know of the VW connection. Perhaps Red Bull-Skoda would work.
There's been a lot of chatter that Porsche wants back in F1 over the past few years, so don't be surprised if that's the badge on the engine cover in '24.

Maybe they can bring back the air-cooled flat 6!
They already have the MGU and aero packages all worked out:
The driver will be carry his crew around the track -- handy if he should have mechanical problems or high-side his car on a sausage kerb.
Kinda stating the obvious...
