Ford F1 Academy deal shows support for Red Bull
“The manufacturer’s logos will appear on the driving suit and MP Motorsport-run car of Emely de Heus. Ford is backing the Red Bull Powertrains power unit that will be used by both the main F1 team and RB from 2026, when the new regulations are introduced. However, its commitment has been called into doubt by the Christian Horner controversy that has dominated the headlines in recent weeks. Ford executives have called for an early end to the ongoing saga. In a recent letter sent to Red Bull CEO Jim Farley noted: ‘As we have indicated previously, without satisfactory response, Ford’s values are non-negotiable. It is imperative that our racing partners share and demonstrate a genuine commitment to those same values. My team and I are available at any time to discuss this matter. We remain insistent on, and hopeful, for a resolution we can all stand behind.'”
