BREAKING NEWS from Brazil RedBull renamed in 2013

Ok so here's some breaking news from Brazil ahead of this afternoon's season finale in Sao Paulo. RedBull Racing have confirmed an expansion of their technical partnership with Nissan's luxury brand Infiniti that will run until 2016.

The team's technical director Adrian Newey also announced that as part of the deal the two company's will work together to develop a Kinetic Energy Saving system that they hope will be developed by 2014.

Infiniti are part owned by Renault who supply RedBull Racing with their F1 engines. The two company's first came together at the start of last season and as part of the new agreement the team is to be renamed Infiniti RedBull Racing.

In my opinion, this great for Formula One as we now have a new manufacturer involved on a much larger scale in the sport, which as I said when Lotus announced their link up with Coca Cola earlier this week it's great to see that company's are not afraid of getting involved in the sport or indeed increasing their involvement in the sport in Infiniti's case despite the current economic climate and I believe that this a great endorsement for the sport.
