Red Bull and Monster
Celsius of course isn’t the first energy drink manufacturer we’ve seen on the proprietary tier network. Red Bull, ten years before the debut of the Red Bull Racing team itself, was already the main sponsor of Sauber in 1995 and then was also a sponsor of Arrows, when Enrique Bernoldi joined the team as a teammate of Jos Verstappen and Heinz-Harald Frentzen in 2001 and 2002. Monster Energy is the official energy drink partner of the German racing team since Mercedes’ return to Formula 1 in 2010. In addition, it is also the personal sponsor of Lewis Hamilton. Of course, we can’t forget Haas’ controversial former major sponsor, Rich Energy.
