Ford has history...
"Red Bull is still based at the same factory Ford helped set up in 1996 as the main backer of the then Stewart Grand Prix team."
"Ford has a rich history in F1, most notably through its funding of Cosworth's development of the legendary DFV engine in the 1960s, 1970s and early 1980s. The Cosworth DFV remains the most successful engine in F1 history, powering a number of different teams to 155 victories over a period of 16 years."
