Ford and Red Bull Racing said they would be back as sponsors in Formula One in 2023. Starting in 2026, when the rules change, the American car company will work with Red Bull Racing to help pay for the team’s engine development. Red Bull Ford will supply engines to Scuderia AlphaTauri and Oracle Red Bull Racing from 2026 until at least 2030. Ford said Friday morning that it would return to Formula 1, which is becoming more popular in the U.S. and worldwide. From 2026 until at least 2030, the automaker will give power units to the Oracle Red Bull Racing and Scuderia AlphaTauri teams. Both teams will benefit from Ford’s knowledge of software and analytics for power unit control, battery cell technology, and electric motors. In 2023, the partnership will start formally. Ford and Red Bull Powertrains will work together to make the power unit required by the new technical rules for the 2026 season. Both the 350 kilowatt electric motor and the new combustion engine will be capable of operating on 100% renewable fuels. “This event marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter in the history of Ford’s involvement in motorsports,” said executive chairman Bill Ford. My great-victorious grandfather’s in a horse race provided initial funding for our business. Ford is returning to the top of its field by showcasing its legacy of technological advancement, environmental consciousness, and electrification on a global stage. The company has been in the business for a long time and is still the third-largest engine maker. When Jaguar sold its Formula One team to Red Bull in 2004, it left the sport for good. Christian Horner, the CEO and Principal of the Oracle Red Bull Racing Team, was happy to hear that Ford was returning to Formula 1.
