Ford Motor confirmed that the former Formula 1 star, Daniel Ricardo, joined the company as a global ambassador to Ford Resing. The Australian will cooperate with the American company with its entry into Formula 1 in cooperation with Red Bull.
Ricardo has owned the Raptor since 2017, where he bought the first Raptor truck before he had a house in the United States, and since then he fell in love with the car and what it represents.
The former Formula 1 driver wrote in a statement in this regard: “I wanted to write to you a quick note to coincide with exciting news. While my days in the races have been gone, my love for anything that moves on wheels will always be great, and for this I am proud to partner with Ford to become a world ambassador to Ford Resin. I will work closely with the Ford Recing team and focus in particular on the wonderful Raptor brand Who has become represented by many Ford customers. “
The Raptor brand includes a group of trucks, including F-150 Raptor, Ranger Raptor, Bronco Raptor, all designed with high performance and off-road capabilities, making it a clear choice for Australian who loves speed and adventure.
“I was thinking about my basic memories with Ford. First, when I bought Raptor in 2017 before I owned a house in the United States. The priorities, right? Then, shortly after Ford announced her partnership with Oracle Red Bull Recing, I came to Dearborn and met with senior leaders like Jim Farley (we had a lot of fun and laughter) but also got a chance to take a look behind the scenes and see What is happening within your design section.
He added: “During all these occasions, Ford’s passion and its employees in the sport of car were very clear. But what excites me more is how you all continue to find ways to enjoy during innovation. Ford has built real works about motorsport and uses them to bring new technologies to your cars on the roads. And nothing embodies this better than the beloved Raptor. Regardless of my bias for the American -made products and my deep love of trucks, then Raptor has become a world force. I am one of the thousands of happy customers.
He concluded: “I cannot be more enthusiastic for all the wonderful leaders upcoming with Ford and for all the amazing projects that Ford Resin has in its plans. From Formula 1 to Dakar, and from Loman to Pathors, a few companies were in this field for a long time like you. From what I saw, we have an amazing future in front of us and I am very proud to join the team.”
It is noteworthy that Ricardo left Formula 1 in 2024 after his exclusion from the Red Bull team, RP (now Recing Bilzz). After sharing this announcement on his Instagram page, the fans received a flow of questions about the next. And now we know.
