BREAKING: Ford is set to return to F1 after more than 20 years away from the sport with RedBullRacing.
Ford on Friday confirmed it will return to the Formula 1 arena in 2026, as a technical partner to current champion Red Bull Racing.
The deal will see Ford work closely with Red Bull's power unit division, Red Bull Powertrains, to develop a power unit to meet the. The regulations call for hybrid power units similar to today's design, but with 100% sustainable fuel and an increased reliance on electric power. Its work on the new power unit will start this year, Ford said. The automaker also said it will be able to provide its expertise in the areas of battery cell and electric motor technology, as well as power unit control software and analytics, and internal-combustion engine development.
Red Bull is currently without a power unit supplier. The team builds its own power units, using the design of former supplier Honda. Red Bull also supplies power units to AlphaTauri, and the feeder team in the future will also use the new unit developed with Ford. Ford said F1's focus on sustainability, coupled with the sport's increased exposure in the U.S. in recent years, helped it in its decision to pursue the return. Ford's production models, including electric vehicles, are also expected to benefit from the deal, particularly when it comes to aerodynamics, material technology, and efficient energy recovery.
