Red Bull Racing and engine suppliers Renault have confirmed a five-year extension to their successful partnership. The new fuel efficient 1.6L V6-turbo power unit to be introduced under revised Formula One regulations in 2014 will be incorporated in the framework of the enhanced collaboration.
The new V6, for use by Red Bull and Renault’s other customer teams, will be developed under a new joint technical venture, which will see closer cooperation between Red Bull Technology and Renault Sport F1. Red Bull will continue to use Renault’s V8 engines and KERS for 2012 and 2013.
Bernard Rey, President of Renault Sport F1, commented: “We are delighted that the Red Bull Racing-Renault partnership has been extended for a further five years, which will take us to a decade of collaboration. Red Bull Racing and Renault share the views that stability is a fundamental condition to perform at the top levels of competition. As well as being a unique opportunity to showcase the performance of the Renault engines at the highest possible level, it is also is a fantastic arena to develop the technology and expertise within the Renault-Nissan Alliance.”
