Red Bull Technology will supply Lotus Racing with its gearbox and hydraulic systems from the start of the 2011 season.
Speaking about the deal with the Anglo-Malaysian squad, Christian Horner said: “We are very pleased about Lotus Racing’s decision. That Red Bull Technology has been chosen to be a supplier to another team despite its short history demonstrates how much we have achieved since our first season. We very much look forward to working with Lotus Racing from 2011 onwards.”
Mike Gascoyne, Lotus’ chief technical officer, said: “The gearbox/hydraulics package plays a critical role in the performance of the car, not just on track but in design and packaging terms, and this deal gives our design and aero teams a very exciting platform to work with.”
