Ford still rank very highly indeed among the most successful F1 engine manufacturers as they prepare for a return alongside Red Bull.
Every race-winning car needs a race-winning engine underneath it, and with Ford having confirmed their re-entry into Formula 1, they have the chance to add to their lofty win tally in the sport.
But given their already lengthy history in Formula 1, Ford have a place in the top 10 most successful engine manufacturers of all time – so let’s have a countdown of the full list.After only one season as a power unit manufacturer, albeit a record-breaking one, Red Bull Powertrains make it onto the list of all-time most successful Formula 1 engine makers.
Their radical V16 engine was ambitious but unreliable in their early years in the 1950s, but their main year of success as a factory team would come in 1962 – with Hill taking four victories on his way to Drivers’ and Constructors’ glory for the team. Their first win came in Canada in 1982 through Nelson Piquet’s Brabham, beating team-mate Riccardo Patrese, who was running a Ford-Cosworth engine in the same race.
This also added up to TAG Porsche powering Niki Lauda to his third and final World Championship in 1984, before he retired and young team-mate Alain Prost took up the mantle and took the title himself a year later – with McLaren taking Constructors’ glory in both seasons. Their engines were in the back of the cars which helped Jack Brabham and Jim Clark to two titles apiece in the sport, with the likes of Stirling Moss, Bruce McLaren and Dan Gurney having also won races with Climax power before the company was bought out, and eventually formed a part of British Leyland after its departure from Formula 1.
