The Ford Motor Company is sending social media influencers to New York on the same dates Red Bull will be in the US city for their season launch event, amid speculation that the two huge brands are set to link up.
Ford has a rich history in Formula 1, but has been absent from the sport for some time. Their last involvement was in the early 2000s through their Jaguar brand, but they didn't have much success after buying Stewart Grand Prix and sold the team to Red Bull towards the end of 2004.
But F1's current period of boom seems to have inspired thoughts of a comeback. Several major carmakers are mulling over the prospect of getting involved in the sport, and Ford is at the top of the list.
