Ford will return to Formula One as the engine provider for Red Bull Racing in 2026, the carmaker announced on Friday at Red Bull’s launch event in New York.

Ford will resume its involvement when F1’s new power unit regulations are introduced. The F1 2026 rule changes call for the current twin-turbo V6 engines to run on sustainable fuel and be fitted with hybrid components.
