Red Bull boss Christian Horner and Ford CEO Jim Farley met at the Monza Circuit during the Italian Grand Prix after months of radio silence.
During the Italian Grand Prix weekend, Red Bull team principal and Ford CEO Jim Farley had their first conversation in several months. The two companies will collaborate in 2026 under new technical regulations, with Ford working alongside Red Bull Powertrains. An investigation earlier this year led to a lack of communication between Farley and Red Bull’s Christian Horner, but this changed at Monza. Farley had urged for transparency during the probe into Horner’s alleged misconduct, which was eventually cleared. The recent meeting at the Monza Circuit reportedly focused on next year’s plans and the 2026 collaboration. Additionally, Red Bull’s major shareholder Chalerm Yoovidhya and team boss Oliver Mintzlaff were also present at the event.
