When Ford bought the race-winning Stewart Grand Prix team in June 1999 ahead of turning it into Jaguar for 2000, its ambition was to create the British Ferrari. But no amount of hype and British Racing Green paint could hide the fact that Ford’s ambitious plan failed dismally.
In its five seasons in Formula 1, Jaguar never came close to winning a race. It finished on the podium just twice and never managed better than seventh in the constructors’ championship.
Ford pulled out in late 2004, selling the team to Red Bull, which to add insult to injury soon turned this underachieving team into an F1 powerhouse.
Ford is returning to F1 with Red Bull in 2026, so what better time to explain why the Blue Oval’s only foray into F1 team ownership was such a disaster?
