Red Bull Racing has agreed to extend its deal with Renault for another two seasons, taking the arrangement up to the scheduled introduction of a new engine formula in 2013.
Renault seems finally to have woken up to the fact that it could win at least one World Championship as a supplier this year, and from this race onwards there will be more prominent branding on both the Red Bull cars and the drivers’ helmets.
In a statement Christian Horner said: “We’re pleased to announce this extension. We have always enjoyed a very straightforward relationship with Renault and they have supported us extremely fairly during the past four seasons, contributing to our 13 grand prix victories so far. The relationship continues to evolve and we look forward to working with them during our 2011 Formula One World Championship campaign.”
