Ford is returning to Formula 1 and teaming up with Red Bull Powertrains to provide the power units for the Oracle Red Bull Racing and Scuderia Alpha Tauri teams starting from 2026.
In the early history of the auto revolution, racing was an incubator for all kinds of technology. From propulsion to engine tech to safety tech, the torture test of high-speed racing provided the basis for the auto industry to move ahead in leaps. Take one more recent example, tire tech. In the latter 20th-century radial tire tech still needed a proof of concept. Racing did it, and now all tires with a very few exceptions are safer for radial technology.
After more than two decades, Ford is returning to Formula 1. The iconic American automaker and Red Bull Powertrains are entering into a longterm strategic technical partnership for the development of a next-gen hybrid power unit to be used from the 2026 Formula 1 season onward.
/PRNewswire/ Following one of the most dominant seasons in Formula 1 history, Oracle Red Bull Racing kicked off its season by unveiling new technology plans.
