Red Bull starts new season with new partnership

Earlier in the day, Red Bull presented their new car. On Wednesday Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez will drive it. In addition, the Austrian racing team announced a new partnership today.

From the coming season, Red Bull and América Móvil have joined forces. This brand belongs to one of the world's largest telecommunications companies. It is also the parent company of A1, Telcel, Infinium and Claro, among others.

Team boss Christian Horner let it be known in a press release. "América Móvil has been a big supporter of Formula One and we're very pleased to be able to continue that relationship here at Red Bull Racing. The passion and commitment the company brings to racing mirrors our own and we look forward to adding to the long tally of successes they've had on the global stage with all of their brands."

América Móvil also provides communication solutions in 25 countries including Latin America, the US and Central and Eastern Europe. Horner particularly mentions the races in Mexico and Brazil. "We also look forward to racing with increased support in two of América Móvil's heartland countries, Mexico and Brazil. We've missed the incredible atmosphere of those events and we can't wait to return this season."
