Infiniti deal worth about $20-million to Red Bull

26 November, 2012

Sebastian Vettel (GER) Red Bull Racing RB7. Formula One Testing, Day 4, Barcelona, Spain, Friday 11 March 2011.Nov.26 (GMM) Red Bull’s recently announced title sponsorship deal with Infiniti for 2013 and beyond is worth an additional  $ 20-million per year, according to the German magazine Sport Bild.

Just before Sebastian Vettel won his third consecutive drivers’ title on Sunday, the reigning champions had announced in Brazil that they will be called Infiniti Red Bull Racing from 2013, in deference to Nissan’s luxury car brand.

“The budget will increase,” is all that Dr Helmut Marko would confirm.

Despite the closer partnership with Nissan and Infiniti, however, Red Bull’s Renault engines will not be rebranded.

    Last time I looked, Nissan was owned by Renault, so they could easily rebadge their engine in the Red Bull as an “Infiniti” if they wanted to. We’d all know the truth but the marketing wallahs don’t care about that.
