Haven't seen any mention of Cosworth in the mix.

If Ford is not building the engine and just the EV part then I dont know what Ford is really making at all. Their Mach-E EV has like 30 rubber hoses in an electric motor while Tesla and VW have like 5 to 10 hoses so not encouraging.

I suspect the statement they made about supplying the electrical part is mostly marketing talk.
They may be be paying for the electrical part but probably not much more than that. Maybe Red Bull lets them put their engineers there to see what they can learn.

I don't think there is a requirement that they make anything in order to slap their name on a car...they just have to write a check.

It isn't like Nissan or Alfa Romeo really contributed to the engineering of the Red Bull or Sauber, respectively, when they were tittle sponsors

Well, I believe Nissan [Infiniti in the RBR sense] has some stake in Renault, 15% apparently.
That & RBR using Renault engines for a time ties them up a bit.

Wrong way. Renault owns a majority stake in Nissan/Infiniti.

Per Wiki, FWIW:
Renault ownership:
French State 15.01%
Nissan: 15% [cross ownership]
Public: 62.74%

Nissan ownership:
Renault: 43.7% [cross ownership]

So, a bit both ways, I suppose.

More of the same, about as expected, IMO.
But, is that a Rokit sponsor on the side of the cockpit? They weren't the brightest of sponsors with Williams, but not near as bad a Rich Energy.

I'll be glad when something happens on track that isn't just part of the PR end of things.
They're all potential world beaters right now.
It won't be long.

Ferrari looks good, but it is hard to go wrong with almost all red.

Look 1000% better without the Mission Winnow graphics, especially the revolting green bit from a couple years ago.

I like the all-black. I thought silver was kind of bland.

Kills the Silver Arrows moniker
But yes, I'm sure grams are saved by not having to paint/wrap the car
And when grams = seconds, color is a secondary concern.
