Oracle
Red Bull F1 Sponsor
How Much Does Oracle Pay Red Bull?
No sponsor in F1 pays more than Oracle, which puts around $110m a year into Red Bull according to RacingNews365’s March 2026 table. That came days after the renewal. Older price tags don’t line up, since reports in 2022 had the first title deal near $100m a year while BlackBook Motorsport valued that five-year package at $60m a year.
Inside Red Bull nothing else comes close, with TAG Heuer‘s $10m next on our figures. The nearest rival on the grid is HP at Ferrari on $100m.
The $110m deal equals about 14 hours of Oracle's $67.4bn revenue.

Values Oracle's five-year 2022 title package at $60m a year, well below the $100m reported at the time.

How the Oracle Red Bull Racing Title Deal Works
Oracle sells database software, Fusion business applications and cloud computing. It’s based in Austin, has been run by co-CEOs Clay Magouyrk and Mike Sicilia since September 2025, and took $67.4bn in revenue in the fiscal year to May 31, 2026.
As title partner it gives the team its official name, Oracle Red Bull Racing. The multiyear renewal announced on February 26, 2026 has no public end date, and it covers cloud simulations, an AI strategy agent at the track and Fusion apps that run the team’s finance and HR.

Why Does Oracle Sponsor Red Bull?
Oracle is chasing cloud customers against bigger rivals, and two of them are in F1 too. Microsoft signed with Mercedes in January 2026 and Google Cloud sits on McLaren’s list, but neither has its name in a team title. Strategist Hannah Schmitz handed Oracle its best line when she said every race-winning strategy Red Bull has made since 2021 was made on Oracle.
The renewal is a bet on the engine project. Red Bull went 15 rounds of 2026 without a win before Max Verstappen won at Sepang and Singapore, and Red Bull Ford Powertrains is developing its first in-house power unit on Oracle’s cloud.

Oracle's Sports Sponsorship History
Before Red Bull, Oracle’s best-known sports spending was in sailing, and it joined the F1 team as a technology supplier a full season before its name went on the car.
Oracle Red Bull Racing Sponsorship Questions
Oracle pays Red Bull F1 around $110m a year, based on RacingNews365’s March 2026 figures, and that puts it top of the grid. Red Bull’s February 2026 announcement didn’t include a fee or length, so there’s no official total, and earlier figures for the 2022 contract ranged between $60m and $100m a year.
No, Oracle’s 2026 deal is a new multiyear extension that replaced the title terms agreed for 2022. The name on the entry hasn’t changed. What has changed is the technical scope, which now reaches AI strategy tools at the track and computing for the Red Bull Ford engine program.
Oracle became Red Bull’s title sponsor for the 2022 season, a year after it joined as a technology partner in March 2021. The 2026 renewal release blurs the two dates, but Oracle’s name only entered the team title once Honda’s official exit freed the slot.
Oracle doesn’t sponsor Racing Bulls, even though both Red Bull teams run Red Bull Ford power units in 2026. The junior team carries Visa and Cash App in its name, and Oracle isn’t among the Racing Bulls sponsors, so its title rights belong to the Milton Keynes team alone.
Oracle runs Red Bull Racing’s race strategy simulations on its cloud, more than 200bn of them across the 2025 season. It also supplies the Fusion software behind the team’s finance and HR, the tools behind the Paddock fan platform and computing for the Red Bull Ford engine project.
