José Antonio Eda Ruiz (Los Palacios Ibillafranca, Seville, 29 October 2005) is the newest pearl of his academy for the Spanish Youth and is poised to join the list of champions in due course. Those concerned about the future of motorcycling in Spain without Marc Márquez should look to his string of pilots born in the mid-2000s, led by Pedro Acosta (2004) and Izan Guevara (2004). please give me. , and come after them Jose Antonio Rueda (2005), Daniel Holgado (2005), David Muñoz (2006) or David Alonso (2006) is a Spanish pilot who chose to race under the flag of his mother’s country of origin, Colombia.

José Antonio Rueda makes his World Cup debut at the age of 17, but those around him (his career is managed by Monlau Management) rush to make him the new breaker of the precocious record. not here. But of all this record set for him in 2022, there is one that stands out. He was the first ever rider to win his FIM Junior GP World Championship and Red Bull his Rookies Cup in the same season.

He has flawlessly managed the two most important age championships that run more or less parallel on the calendar, winning in his chest and behind him. The FIM Junior Grand Prix title at Misano in September was dedicated to his close friend and pilot Hugo Milan, who died at the young age of 14 in the Arcaños race of the 2021 European Talent Cup. rice field. Nine podiums, five of which were victories, added 238 points from 12 races, a figure not seen since Fabio Quartararo entered the championship (then CEV 125cc) in 2014. , ahead of runner-up David Salvador by 76 points. The Red Bull Rookies Cup title, for which his father worked as a mechanic, tied him up at the final race in Cheste in November with seven podiums and his three victories.

Since winning the title of Spanish Moto4 Champion in 2017 with the Estrella Galicia 0,0 team and Monlau Motorsport, Rueda has not stopped evolving. In the 2020 Pandemic he debuted in his FIM Junior GP where he finished 13th and in 2021 his 8th, scoring his maiden podium at Motomelo .

“Having these riders with us from the beginning, advising them and trusting them was essential to being in MotoGP today, even for world champions. is a clear example of , ”says Jaime Serrano, CEO of the Team Estrella Galicia 0,0 team where he trained. His debut in the Moto3 World Championship will join Red Bull KTM Ajo, considered the best team, but the management of Seville’s sporting rights will remain the responsibility of Monlau Management.

From the start, the Sevillian will have to get KTM after years with Honda for Junior Team Estrella Galicia 0,0 in Junior GPs and only a brief experience with KTM in the last Red Bull Rookies Cup. All were very satisfied with his three days of private testing in Jerez. “Jose Antonio is a rookie and it was his first time working with KTM, so he needed three days of work. Ajo explained.

“The last three days of testing have gone very well. We are improving little by little every day and I feel better on the bike. I would like to thank the team, we have achieved a lot in these first few days.It’s a shame we couldn’t continue on the final day a little more, but I’m very happy and hope to see you in 2023 I am looking forward to the beginning of the year.

The Seville native already knows what it’s like to run a Grand Prix in the Moto3 World Championship, but he hasn’t scored any points in either of the two races he’s run. Its official premiere came at his final race at Cheste in 2021. This is thanks to the call of Indonesian Racing’s Gresini Moto3 team to cover the loss of Gabri to his Rodrigo due to injury. He finished 21st on the grid, and in the race he fell on lap 5 in a fight with Kelso as he approached the points.

This 2022 he will be racing for the Rivacold Snipers Team at Le Mans. He qualified 24th on the grid and this time finished the race, but failed to score any points and finished 21st in a contest for the top 20 with Pitito Fernández in a complicated race, three laps later when the rain worsened. A red flag has appeared. And finished wet.

His debut in the Moto3 World Championship came in 2011 at Cheste, making up for the loss of Gabri Rodrigo at Gresini.

He goes to the World Cup in a 99 – as a kid he was a big fan of Jorge Lorenzo and is already a two-time champion after wearing the 95 until 2021. There’s no shortage of stars on his Instagram that this RACC pilot hasn’t been photographed with, of course, Los Palacios’ most prominent resident, soccer player Jesús Navas.

There are rumors about Ford entering Formula 1 with Red Bull

Ford has admitted it is considering entering Formula 1 with Red Bull Racing in 2026 – while the Detroit-based company’s CEO will reportedly be present for the unveiling of the new RB19 in New York on February 3.

The blue oval company is reportedly in advanced negotiations with Red Bull Racing to become the Formula One champion’s technology partner from 2026, the year the sport’s engine regulations change.

A possible collaboration between RBR and Ford seems ideal for both sides: Red Bull has decided to manufacture its own engines from 2026, with the newly formed Red Bull Powertrains being housed in a new factory next to that of their chassis in Milton Keynes, UK.

As a result, RBR has decided it no longer needs a customer engine like Honda, but is not saying no to a “technology partner” who may name the engines, accompanying its commitment with a generous sponsorship. Even more so when that partner is from the US, which opens a number of doors for Red Bull’s presence in the large American market.

Such cooperation also seems to be most suitable for Ford. According to reports, the American company does not want to be an engine manufacturer in Formula 1, but rather to participate in its technological development. After all, its participation in the WRC is of a similar level, as it did not create a pure works team, but supports Malcolm Wilson’s M-Sport with know-how and sponsorship.

For a possible Ford partnership with Red Bull Racing in Formula 1 in 2026, it all makes sense. His hybrid system in Honda’s Tokyo, a few thousand kilometers away.

The ‘fire’ of Red Bull-Ford collaboration rumors is now being fueled by new evidence. Although Red Bull insists on launching the new 2023 RB19 in New York because of fashion week and the company owns fashion label Alpha Tauri, German broadcaster Sky Sports reports that the launch of the new car by Ford CEO Mark Rushbrook will be in attendance.

At the same time, in an interview with website motorsport.com, Rushbrook did not rule out Ford entering Formula 1 in 2026: “THE formula 1 it is undeniably strong and growing, both in the United States and around the world. What they did well was create competition and great games. It’s still the crown jewel, but they’ve also managed to reach new audiences with moves like that Drive to survive [του Netflix]”said the American.

And he continued: “As a company, we participate in the race for innovation, for technology transfer, for learning opportunities, but also for reasons marketing in addition. Things have changed, sure, and no doubt we need to think about it. We don’t comment on speculation, but that goes for every other institution out there. It is our responsibility to study and understand them and then make our own decisions as to whether it makes sense or not. [να συμμετάσχουμε]”.

Rushbrook did not deny that the conversion of Formula 1 to the use of biofuels also plays an important role in the technology, innovation and commercialization he mentions: “Sustainable fuels are definitely something we are interested in, but we are already doing this in other institutions. the WRC he’s had it since last year and that was a big lesson for us.

In the regions where we sell our cars, some will switch to electric cars faster and others will keep the heat engines longer. But we want to be sustainable in what we do as a company – not only in making electric cars, but also in making our heat engines more sustainable. We support all institutions, whether we participate or not, that are making the transition to sustainable fuels.”he added.

Finally, many argue that Ford will be lured into F1 by a similar move by its main US commercial rival General Motors, which, through Cadillac, is backing Michael Andretti’s Andretti Global team’s bid to become the sport’s 11th team in 2026 could. “It doesn’t necessarily change anything,” Rushbrook commented.

We remind you that Ford, through Cosworth, was one of the most successful manufacturers in F1 history. However, her last experience with the sport was traumatic: in 2000 she founded her own factory team under the Jaguar name, but this costly program failed miserably. So she left for good in 2004 after initially selling her team to… Red Bull.
