Red Bull confirms Aston Martin as title sponsor

Red Bull has confirmed Aston Martin will become its title sponsor from the start of the 2018 F1 season.

Red Bull joined into an innovation partnership with the British car manufacturer in 2016 and the pair are working together to help develop the Aston Martin Valkyrie hypercar. That partnership will become a full-fledged title sponsorship next year, meaning the former world champions will operate under the official title Aston Martin Red Bull.

The deal will include the building of an Advanced Performance Centre at Red Bull's Milton Keynes headquarters which the two companies hope will aid in adopting F1 and road car technology, while creating more than 100 new jobs in the process.
