Aston Martin and Red Bull are joining forces in formula One with the British sports automobile brand set to become the title sponsor of the Red Bull F1 team from next season.
The expansion of the pair’s existing relationship will include the establishment of an Aston Martin ‘Advanced performance Centre’ at Red Bull’s Milton Keynes HQ in Bucks, creating 110 new jobs. The partnership will lead to future collaborations along the lines of the Aston Martin Valkyrie hypercar that saw involvement from Red Bull’s renowned chief designer Adrian Newey. The 150-car allocation for the Valkyrie has already sold out before the first one has rolled off the production line.
