Infiniti Exits Red Bull Racing As Team Switches To TAG Heuer-Branded Renault Engines
Infiniti Exits Red Bull Racing As Team Switches To TAG Heuer-Branded Renault Engines-July 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:11:36

Infiniti and Red Bull Racing will discontinue their partnership at the end of the 2015 season, one year before their contract was supposed to end. While the F1 team will continue to use Renault engines, the new power units will wear TAG Heuer badges.

When about their engine problems and the future of Red Bull Racing this summer at the Festival of Speed, he probably had no idea what was coming as they got closer to the season finale. Rumors of them switching to Ferrari or Mercedes power, as well as getting bought by Volkswagen, hit the news long before them if they leave F1 before 2020.

Crap excuse for a deranged mutant and head honcho of Formula One Bernie Ecclestone now says that…

Humorously enough, Red Bull secured in the end, but since the 2016 power units will be jointly developed by British company Ilmor in order to get them up to speed, Red Bull’s engines will be badged as TAG Heuer’s after the luxury watchmaker left McLaren, ending a 31-year partnership with Woking.

While Renault will run its own factory team in 2016 , Infiniti’s departure from Red Bull means that “Nissan will not provide light commercial vans to Red Bull Racing anymore.”

Shame. I always wondered what Ricciardo could do with an NV200.

Here's Why Pro Drag Racers' Front Wheels Don't Exactly Line Up
Drag racing seems simple at first, but the more you look into the sport where whoever crosses the finish line before the other wins, the more complicated and fascinating it becomes. One such example is called “spindle stagger,” or why top cars in drag racing don’t have front wheels that...

Every NASCAR Race Should Be Dubbed Like This
Going to a NASCAR oval race to feel a full field of 40 earth-shakingly loud V8 engines rumble your very bones is a near-religious experience if there ever was one. Unfortunately, it doesn’t translate all that well on television. This is a much better dub if there ever was one....
