Red Bull and ‘Puma’

According to a whisper on the formula one grapevine, energy drink Red Bull is on the verge of signing up a sponsor.

Although whether 'Puma' is bound for the senior team or Scuderia Toro Rosso is unknown, speculation indicates that the deal will include on-car branding, rather than the clothing agreements with many existing teams.

German-based Puma's logo features a leaping cat, similar to the Jaguar insignia that featured on the green cars between 2000 and 2004.
