It is understood Red Bull has issued a document requesting a termination of the partnership that will be accepted by Renault.

Renault says they're "renegotiating" the contract, which kind of confirms above as otherwise they would have a valid contract.

The fact that Audi and Porsche do not run title sponsorship is further proof to the VAG agenda. They want to win with their car. Their technology. Their headlines. They don't want the car to be plastered with everybody elses logos, and a car designed by other people.

Yeah right. So last year's F1 constructor's champion is Petronas and Peugeot was actually a car named Total. And that agenda isn't very company-wide agenda considering the size of Red Bull stickers on the VW Polo WRC car.
No big sponsor => get a lot of small sponsors. As in WEC, including Toyota.
Have one big sponsor => less need for small sponsors. As seen in F1, Nascar etc.
I've brought this up so many times, but no one ever agrees with me. Apparently easier to pretend everything is perfect and completely deny the possibility that WEC may have an issue with attracting sponsors.
