Ford Raptor
When Ford set out to mark its 2026 return to Formula 1, the brand turned to Wieden+Kennedy New York and a desert proving ground. The resulting campaign, “A Raptor Meets Honey Badger,” puts Daniel Ricciardo, the former F1 driver known to fans as the Honey Badger, at the wheel of an F-150 Raptor R across the Mojave, with Kyle Lieberman on stills and Trevor Paperny of Field Unit directing the accompanying short film. The work pairs Ricciardo’s debut as Global Ford Racing Ambassador with the brand’s “Ready Set Ford” platform, bridging Ford’s off-road heritage and its Red Bull Powertrains powered F1 future.
