Interesting… first I’d read about the AlphaTauri supply.
Ford badged engines are the 3rd most successful engines in Formula 1. The Ford badged Cosworth DFV engine was brilliant.
I wonder how Honda feels about this considering Red Bull has taken over the Honda F1 engine design and manufacture. If Ford has access to that, could be a BIG leg up. Plus Honda is listed as coming back as one of the 6 suppliers of engines for 2026.
Good way for Ford to keep on top of technological advances. Should be good for them, and good for Ford customers.
