PHOTOGRAPH. Red Bull and Ford unveil their first joint engine in F1
In 2026, large-scale rule changes will be introduced in Formula 1, which will introduce not only new aerodynamics of cars, but also a radical update of power plants.
In this context, Renault decided to suspend the development of its own engines. At the same time, new manufacturers have emerged in Formula 1: Audi and Honda have returned to Aston Martin, Cadillac will launch with its own units in 2028, and Red Bull has received technical support from Ford.
Before the start of the season and the first tests, most of the discussions are about engines. Ford, Red Bull and Mercedes have reportedly found a solution to compress the engine, which is expected to provide an advantage of up to 0.3 seconds per lap.
Against the background of all this, the season of team presentations begins, where updated liveries will be shown, and maybe someone will show off a full-fledged car before leaving the track. Red Bull will be the first team: today, December 16, they will present the colors together with their sister team Racing Bulls.
Before the official release, the team attracted the attention of fans by showing the first photo of the Red Bull-Ford joint engine, the first of its kind, on social networks. Specific technical details are not yet visible, but the team logo attracts attention.
The 2026 season presentation of the Red Bull car will be held in Detroit (USA) at 05:00 Kiev time.

HAMILTON: I’ll never do that in a Ferrari. This is a whole different level
Lewis Hamilton said there was harmony within the Ferrari team despite his troubled first season in the Scuderia.
His high-profile move to the Italian team did not bring the expected results: Hamilton finished sixth in the drivers’ standings and failed to reach the podium for the first time in his career this season.
It only won the Chinese Grand Prix, but Ferrari’s decision to halt development of the car in April to prepare for a major rule change in 2026 has prevented the team from catching up with its rivals.
Despite the difficulties, Hamilton remains determined to return Ferrari to title contention. He spoke of the atmosphere at the factory following the disastrous 2025 season, which saw champions McLaren fall 435 points behind, compared to 14 points in 2024.
“I will never compare Ferrari to other teams because it’s a completely different level,” Hamilton said. he said.
“I am inspired every time I return to the factory; it is an incredible feeling.
There is something romantic about working with Ferrari, the brand, and despite all the ups and downs we have experienced, there is great harmony within the team.
Everyone is focused on learning from the 2025 season and building a better future, and that always motivates me.
Of course, there are areas for improvement; “We talked about it and we are working on it right now,” he said.
