Infiniti Red Bull Racing Team Principal Christian Horner has
confirmed that the Milton Keynes based outfit has no intention of leaving
Formula One saying over the Monaco Grand Prix weekend that team win together
and lose together.
The four time world champions have struggled in the early
stages of the 2015 Formula One season compared to rivals Mercedes and Ferrari
which led to some people suggesting that Red Bull owner Dietrich Mateschitz was
considering selling the team and walking away from Formula One. There have been
persistent rumours that Audi were going to buy into the team.
In the build up to last weekend’s Monaco Grand Prix Audi
confirmed that they have absolutely no intention to enter into Formula One.
The German manufacturer are already heavily involved in the
World Endurance Championship and the German Touring Car Championship and this
is one of the reasons why the company have decided not to pursue a Formula One
project.
Infiniti Red Bull Racing have a contract in place with
Renault until the end of next season and they also have a long term agreement
with luxury car brand Infiniti.
The team are working extremely hard with Renault and this is
beginning to bear fruit as Daniil Kvyat and Daniel Ricciardo finished the
Monaco Grand Prix in fourth and fifth place respectively. Red Bull are
currently in fourth place in the Constructors championship on 52 points.
