Red Bull Racing and Renault confirmed this Sunday the continuation of their collaboration for the 2017-2018 period. The red bull clan will also be entirely supplied by Renault, since Toro Rosso will return to the tricolor blocks after a contested 2016 with the engine Ferrari.

“We are very happy to partner with two strong teams like Red Bull Racing and Scuderia Toro Rosso. Having competitive partners demonstrates the confidence these two teams have in Renault's improved powertrain and in our organization as a whole. » comments Jerome Stroll, president of Renault Sport Racing.

“We are delighted to extend our partnership which has enjoyed great success over time, underlines Christian Horner, Team Principal of Red Bull Racing. After the reconstruction undertaken by Renault, progress was made, which made it logical to continue with the TAG Heuer engine. »

The two teams will be able to rebadge the Renault block at their convenience and will receive the latest specifications.
