Red Bull Racing extends its long-standing association with technology partner Siemens for another three years to 2018, thus hinting that its Formula One presence is secure for the foreseeable future.
Red Bull owner Dietrich Mateschitz recently said that he “could not give a definite answer” as to whether the energy drinks giant will be on the grid in 2016, amidst persistent uncertainty around its power supply.
The four-time world champions have been working with Siemens since Red Bull purchased the Jaguar F1 Team at the end of the 2004 season.
“Siemens have provided a functional foundation for our design department for a number of years now, and their continued partnership has seen us take on more and more of their software to support our business processes,” Red Bull team principal Christian Horner said.
“Managing the flow of design change through the company has become an increasing challenge as our capacity to innovate grows, and the PLM software has enabled us do this more effectively.
“This is another example of Red Bull seeking expertise from a class-leading supplier to help us improve our operation.”
The Milton Keynes-based squad has been using “Siemens’ product life management (PLM) software for design, manufacturing and workflow management as well as its ongoing support and services” to match F1’s development pace.
