This ties in perfectly with Ford’s mission statement, which itself has confirmed that the push for sustainability and the explosion in popularity of Formula 1 in the United States has caused the brand to consider a return to the sport. The last time Ford was active in the sport was in 2004 as a sponsor of Jordan.
