The American automotive giant is teaming up with Red Bull when the sport enters a new era in two years’ time.

New chassis regulations are set to be introduced; however, Ford’s focus will be on the power unit side of operations as it ties into a partnership with Red Bull Powertrains.

Electrical energy will amount to 50 percent of the engine output for the new Power Units, with Ford brought on board due to its battery and electric motor technology expertise.

Ford CEO Jim Farley shared a positive update on its progress as it continues to build towards its entry.

I had a chance to spend a lot of time with the team in Milton Keynes and with Adrian Newey, and I think we’re on track, he said, as quoted by Motorsport.com.

2026, even though it sounds like a long way away, we have a lot of work to do on the powertrain, but I’m really happy with the progress. I wish I could tell you more, but I would say we’re on track.
