Ford is returning to Formula 1 with the world champion and will collaborate with new hybrid units for both RedBull and Alpha Tauri starting in 2026, until at least 2030, writes Gazzetta dello Sport.

“Ford’s return to Formula 1 through this partnership is fantastic. Ford spans generations in motoring history, from Jim Clark to Ayrton Senna and Michael Schumacher, and for us at Red Bull Powertrains to open this chapter is because Red Bull Ford is extraordinary,” announced RedBull Team Principal Christian Horner.
