Well not really. Ilmor do manufacture the Merc engines. Cosworth manufacture the "Ford Engine". In both cases Mercedes and Ford supply the funds and some technology as well as brief as what they want. Ie a V10 of 3 litres, V8 of 4 litres or 100cc 2 stroke for a lawn mower. Then Ilmor and Cosworth fill the order as per their customers requirements. From a lot of information that I have read and listening to Jackie Stewart very carefully, it appears that the Stewart F1 is really "Ford" racing incognito. BJG ...
