    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.

    Free engines? Cool!

    I'd take that deal in a heartbeat.

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

    Actually it is a good move for multiple reasons, sound business not being the least of which!

    Excellent - when Vettel's motor lunches its bottom end again, do we all get to shout "to infinity - and beyond"?

    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.

    Do we add Infiniti to the list on which Mecachrome, Playlife and Supertec live? Is Asiatech on that list, or was Asiatech a Pug engine?
    The Old Republic was a stupidly run organisation which deserved to be taken over. All Hail Palpatine!

    Dang, I miss the Jordan Mugen Honda. "Buzzin Hornets" was the best fake tobacco name, although "Look Alike" was also clever
