Ford will return to Formula 1 with leading British-based team Red Bull Racing and its Italian sibling squad AlphaTauri from 2026 until at least 2030.
The partnership will bring Ford back to the top level of single-seater racing for the first time since 2004, when it supplied an engine to the Jordan team and ran its own team under the Jaguar name.
Despite its two-decade absence from F1, Ford remains the third-most-successful engine manufacturer in the sport's history, having won 10 constructors' titles, 13 drivers' titles and 176 championship grands prix. It won its last F1 title powering the Benetton of Michael Schumacher to his first title glory in 1994.
"Ford's return to Formula 1 with Red Bull Racing is all about where we are going as a company: increasingly electric, software-defined, modern vehicles and experiences," said Jim Farley, president and CEO of Ford.
