Red Bull Racing signed a new lucrative sponsorship deal with a crypto platform. The platform named ‘Bybit’ is a popular player in the Crypto world and has stroke a 3 year deal with the F1 giants. From the sponsorship, the Austrian giants will earn $150 million or £132 million roughly.
A deal worth $50 million a year is no doubt sensational. Red Bull, in fact, is already in a tie with two other crypto players. Namely, Tezos and Cash App. They’re with the 4-time constructor’s champions since last year.
🗣 "I’m delighted to welcome Bybit to the Team. They share the Team’s passion to exist at the forefront of technological innovation” Christian on @Bybit_Official #RaceToTheNextLevel
