Red Bull F1 clinches new $500M title sponsorship with Oracle
MILTON KEYNES, England: The Red Bull Formula One team has secured a new title sponsorship worth around $500 million with technology firm Oracle, placing it among the most lucrative commercial deals in sports. The five-year deal is a lift to the team ahead of the season beginning next month when Max Verstappen will be looking to defend his world title in a new Oracle Red Bull Racing car that was also revealed on Wednesday. Financial details were not disclosed but a person familiar with the deal told The Associated Press it was worth around $100 million a year.
Red Bull acertó con el cambio
En su momento fue una apuesta demasiado arriesgada, pero Red Bull terminó ganando con una jugada en la que se aseguraron, al menos, no complicar todavía más sus aspiraciones al título. La escudería energética necesitaba ganar, eso era todo lo que demandaba Verstappen para continuar en sus filas, y de ahí que en 2019 decidiesen confiar en Honda como suministrador de motores. La entrada del fabricante japonés en 2015 junto a McLaren en el Mundial, no convertía a su unidad de potencia en un elemento atractivo con el que aliarse, pero el tiempo les ha dado la razón y a su vez, les ha permitido cumplir con el objetivo junto al que regresaron a la F1: estar en lo más alto.
