Ford Returns To F1 With Red Bull Partnership, Just Not In The Way You Might Expect

TL;DR Specifically, Ford is responsible for designing, developing, testing, and manufacturing 12 unique parts for the Red Bull powertrain. Some are small, while others are as large and crucial as the turbocharger turbine housing. That may not sound like a considerable amount, especially in a machine with thousands of components, but it's the human intellect and R&D that go into those 12 components that make this much more than just a marketing ploy. And according to the powertrain team's top brass, Ford's expertise and manufacturing agility in the face of a massive rules change are its biggest assets.
