Dietrich Mateschitz has revealed he might sell the naming rights to his top formula one team Red Bull.<\/p>\n
The Milton Keynes-based team is leading the constructors’ championship, while Mark Webber and Sebastian Vettel are atop the drivers’ standings, after the RB6 proved the dominant car after six races in 2010.<\/p>\n
“As soon as Red Bull Racing is recognised as an established team, a title sponsor could be possible,” Austrian billionaire Mateschitz told the Sunday Express.<\/p>\n
The British tabloid said Mateschitz, 66, favours a luxury goods brand for a sponsor deal that could bring in about $38 million.<\/p>\n
Team boss Christian Horner said in Monaco last weekend that Red Bull currently doesn’t “quite have the resource of the more established teams”.<\/p>\n
But McLaren and FOTA chief Martin Whitmarsh isn’t sure.<\/p>\n
“I think that whatever the level of funding, and I don’t know the funding, in terms of resources, the larger teams are pretty similar,” he said.<\/p>\n
“Red Bull is a well funded, well structured, well led organisation,” insisted Whitmarsh.<\/p>\n
