Red Bull bids to buy FIA.
Red Bull has launched plans to buy the FIA, in a move which will allow company boss Dietrich Mateschitz to achieve his long-held ambition of creating the Red Bull FIA Formula One World Championship.
In the past, Bernie Ecclestone has resisted any temptation to sell naming rights, despite considerable interest from the likes of Fosters', because he knew that he could not get agreement from the competing teams.
However, by purchasing the governing body and renaming it 'Red Bull FIA', Mateschitz will be able to completely circumvent any such opposition because, technically, it will not be a sponsorship of the championship.
We understand that Max Mosley is fully behind the deal, because of the long-term security that it will give the organisation. Informal talks apparently began in Shanghai last year, when Mosley attended an end-of-season party thrown by the soft drink magnate. Mosley and Mateschitz have been friends for some time, and share a passion for winter sports.
