The partnership between Red Bull Racing and the Ford Motor Company has been confirmed, after the carmaker officially announced its return to Formula 1.
Earlier this week, Mirror Sport reported that a deal was close between the two giant brands, which would see Ford return to F1 for the first time since 2004. Their last involvement was owning the Jaguar team, which it sold to Red Bull and later became the team it is today.
Confirmation of the partnership was briefly leaked through an Italian news agency on Thursday before it was hastily deleted. It was finally made official on Friday at Red Bull's huge 2023 season launch event, held in New York City.
