Ford is partnering with Red Bull Racing and will return to F1 in 2026. Ford motorsports executive Mark Rushbrook spoke to Jordan_Bianchi about why this was the right time.
From the first conversation Mark Rushbrook had with Oracle Red Bull Racing principal Christian Horner during the latter months of 2022, the Ford executive knew he had found the ideal team to help bring the American car company back to Formula One after a prolonged absence. More conversations ensued, which only strengthened Rushbrook’s belief that Red Bull was the right fit.Eventually, the sides agreed to terms, clearing the path for Ford to return to F1 in a big way.
“As a team, they’re committed to winning, and they’ve demonstrated that they are capable of winning,” Rushbrook said. “And we want to be in motorsports, yes, for the technology, for the marketing, but we want to do it winning and with the right partner. They’re committed to that, they have a winning culture, the leadership team. … You want to be with the right team, for sure.”
“Then if you look at the sport, it’s also the right time in the sense that they continue to put a great product on the track, great racing, but also growing their fan base with the success of ‘Drive to Survive’ and reaching a more global, more diverse fan base than ever before.”
