redbull Renault no more NOW Red Bull Infiniti
http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/moto...ne/9409120.stm
Red Bull's Renault engines will be renamed Infiniti this season in a move that will boost the world champion team's budget by at least Ł7m.
Infiniti - the premium brand of Japan's Nissan, part-owned by Renault - is using F1 to boost its global profile.
The engines will be the same, branding aside, but the plan means Red Bull will get their engines for free.VERSTAPPEN: ‘If I’d let Sainz past, dad would’ve kicked me in the nuts!’

Makes sense for Renault as having them beaten by another Renault team makes them look bad.

This is good news, F1 gains another "manufacturer". Makes very much sense to Infiniti since they are meant to be a luxury brand yet their image in Europe is non-existent.

Can they do this with the budget regulations in place?
My advice is to consider editing your post. You are pretty identifiable in a very public forum and if your current employer has internet police they may find this interesting. Of course, ignore me if...
