Red Bull extends Renault engine deal

Red Bull Racing has announced it has agreed to extend its current engine partnership with French manufacturer Renault.

The new deal is for two years, meaning the Milton Keynes team will continue to use the French power units at least until 2012.

Red Bull said the new partnership also means the team will feature greater Renault visibility starting from the Brazilian Grand Prix this weekend.

The Renault logo will appear on the noses of both cars and its name will be on the visors of both Sebastian Vettel and Mark Webber’s helmets.

“We’re pleased to announce this extension,” said team boss Christian Horner. “We have always enjoyed a very straightforward relationship with Renault and they have supported us extremely fairly during the past four seasons, contributing to our thirteen grand prix victories so far.

“The relationship continues to evolve and we look forward to working with them during our 2011 Formula One World Championship campaign.”
