long-term partnership with the Sauber Formula One team. When it set up
its own team, it ended the relationship with Sauber. Red Bull Racing was
one of only four teams (apart from Ferrari, Midland F1 and WilliamsF1)
to have signed the Concorde Agreement starting in 2008, assuring its
long-term involvement in Formula One.
