The article looks back at Ford’s long and turbulent history in Formula 1, from its many successes as an engine maker to its tougher times as a full team owner.
Ford once backed several championship-winning cars and drivers, but when it bought an F1 team and rebranded it as Jaguar Racing, the venture was costly and not very successful, leading Ford to sell it to Red Bull for just £1.
Now, Ford is returning to the sport as an engine supplier, teaming up again with Red Bull – a partnership that gives the company a chance to reconnect with a team that has become one of the most successful in F1.
The piece also highlights Ford’s early and important role in the sport’s development, noting that its engines helped many teams compete and spurred technical innovations in the 1970s.
