It is reported that Ford will partner with Red Bull for their return to the grid and will team up with the Austrian team's engine company, Red Bull Powertrains, although an official announcement is awaited. Following Honda walking away from the sport, Red Bull had decided to set up their own power unit facility. Red Bull and its sister team AlpaTauri will continue to use Honda engines till the end of the 2025 season. The 2026 season will see new power unit regulations with teams using increased electrical power and sustainable synthetic fuels in the internal combustion engine. Reports suggest Ford will concentrate on battery and hybrid technology in their partnership with Red Bull. Ford's return in 2026 will mark the team's return to the sport since 2004 when they were last in the sport with the Jaguar team. Ford had sold its Jaguar team to Red Bull in 2004. Ford had made its Formula One debut in the 1960s and won their first title with Lotus and Graham Hill in 1968. The team's most recent title win was that of Michael Schumacher's with Benetton in 1994. Ford has been apart of 10 Constructors' and 13 Drivers' Championships over the years.
Ford announces Red Bull partnership for F1 return
After making the announcement for their return to Formula One, Ford have officially announced that they will be partnering with Red Bull for their return to the sport in 2026 and Red Bull and their sister team AlphaTauri will both use Ford-branded engines from the 2026 season onwards. The announcement of the partnership between Ford and Red Bull was made during Red Bull's livery launch for their RB19 car for the upcoming season, in New York. Following Honda's announcement to walk away from the sport, Red Bull had set up a new division to build their own engine, Red Bull Powertrains and Ford will now support the team and also provide technical input and work together on the development of a hybrid power unit to supply engines to Red Bull and AlphaTauri. Christian Horner, Team Principal, Red Bull Racing, said, "It’s fantastic to be welcoming Ford back into Formula 1 through this partnership. As an independent engine manufacturer to have the ability to benefit from an OEM’s experience like Ford puts us in good stead against the competition. 'They are a manufacturer rich in motoring history that spans generations. From Jim Clark to Ayrton Senna and Michael Schumacher, the lineage speaks for itself. For us as Red Bull Powertrains to open the next chapter of that dynasty, as Red Bull Ford, is tremendously exciting. 2026 is still a while away but for us the work already starts as we look to a new future and a continued evolution of Oracle Red Bull Racing.”
