AvaTrade Accelerates with Red Bull Racing: A High-Speed Partnership in the Heart of Formula 1
In December 2024, AvaTrade, the global online broker, signed its largest-ever multi‑year sponsorship deal to become an exclusive team partner with Oracle Red Bull Racing, officially launching in 2025. Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. You're reading Entrepreneur Asia Pacific, an international franchise of Entrepreneur Media. Formula 1 - A Brief Overview Formula 1 is the pinnacle of global motorsport, blending advanced technology, strategy, and driver skill. The 2025 season features a record 24 races across five continents, with teams battling for both the Drivers' and Constructors' Championships. After McLaren's dominant performance in 2024, the 2025 season has opened up with heightened competition. Red Bull Racing - Team Profile & 2025 Season So Far Oracle Red Bull Racing, crowned Constructors' Champion multiple times in recent years, is led by star driver Max Verstappen and supported by his teammate Yuki Tsunoda as of mid‑season, following Liam Lawson's move back to the junior Racing Bulls team. Recent race highlights: - Australian GP (March): Verstappen finished 2nd behind Lando Norris (McLaren) in the season opener. - Japanese GP (April): Verstappen claimed a commanding win from pole in Suzuka, holding off strong challenges from Norris and Piastri. - Saudi Arabia GP (April): Verstappen took P2 behind Oscar Piastri, who took the championship lead. - Emilia‑Romagna GP (Imola, May): Verstappen earned his 2nd win of the season and the 124th ever for Red Bull Racing, starting from P2. - Monaco GP (May): Despite strong efforts, Verstappen could not win—McLaren's Norris prevailed, with Red Bull's Liam Lawson and Isack Hadjar (Racing Bulls) scoring career-best finishes of 8th and 6th respectively. - British GP (Silverstone, July): Verstappen secured pole but McLaren dominated the race with Norris and Piastri finishing 1‑2. Red Bull struggled with setup and adaptability. - Belgian GP Sprint Race (Spa, July): Verstappen delivered Red Bull's first win under new team principal Laurent Mekies (after Christian Horner's dismissal), overtaking Piastri to claim the sprint victory and reaffirm his commitment to the team under its new leadership. Championship standings: - Driver standings: McLaren duo Oscar Piastri (≈234 pts) leads, followed by Lando Norris (≈226 pts), with Verstappen in 3rd (≈165–173 pts). - Constructors: McLaren leads the standings convincingly with ~460 points; Red Bull is currently 4th on ~172 points, trailing McLaren, Ferrari, and Mercedes. Red Bull's early season technical setbacks and leadership transition have challenged their dominance, though Verstappen's performance continues to be a beacon amid the turbulence. The team is now focused on upgrades to the RB21 and adapting to Mekies' more technical leadership philosophy. The AvaTrade & Red Bull Racing Partnership In December 2024, AvaTrade, the global online broker, signed its largest-ever multi‑year sponsorship deal to become an exclusive team partner with Oracle Red Bull Racing, officially launching in 2025. Key elements include: · Branding beginning with the RB20 at the Abu Dhabi finale of 2024, and extending in 2025 to the RB21 car, team kits, and driver suits. · AvaTrade is also the presenting partner of the team's official podcast, "Talking Bull", offering fans exclusive interviews and behind-the-scenes content. · The collaboration supports the Red Bull Racing Pepe Jeans Academy programme, tied to the F1 Academy initiative aimed at nurturing female racing talent—a reflection of AvaTrade's alignment with innovation, diversity, and empowerment in both trading and sport. Together, the partnership is built on shared values—pushing boundaries, precision, innovation, and global reach—with AvaTrade leveraging F1's global platform, especially in the Middle East and Latin America, to expand its brand awareness and customer engagement. In Summary As Formula 1 enters the mid‑season of 2025, Red Bull Racing is navigating a transitional moment marked by leadership change, technical recalibration, and intensified competition from McLaren. Max Verstappen remains a key asset, delivering victories under new team management despite mounting pressure. Amid this dynamic backdrop, the Red Bull × AvaTrade partnership emerges as a powerful alliance—uniting motorsport excellence with financial innovation. With branding visible on car and driver apparel, a presence in team media, and support for F1 Academy initiatives, the collaboration is designed to amplify mutual growth well beyond the racetrack.

Real Madrid Announces New First Team Transfer
Spanish soccer giant Real Madrid announced a first team transfer through its official website and social media account on X at the turn of a new month. 'Real Madrid C. F. and Como 1907 have reached an agreement for the transfer of our player Jacobo Ramon,' a statement on the matter began. Madrid explained how Jacobo arrived at the club at the age of eight when he joined its La Fabrica academy. Since then, he became a regular fixture in youth teams before being promoted to the Castilla reserve outfit last season. A part of the U18 team that won the treble in 2022/2023, he made his debut with Carlo Ancelotti's first team in 2025, though unfortunately no major silverware was forthcoming in that campaign with the Italian now replaced by Xabi Alonso. For Spain's U19's, though, Ramon won the Euros in 2024, and he was thanked by Madrid for his 'commitment and dedication during the time he has belonged to Real Madrid', which wished 'him and his family all the best in this new stage of his life'. Madrid didn't give any details of the transfer in its correspondence. According to MARCA, though, Como has agreed to pay €2.5 million for 50% of his rights, with Madrid reserving the right to buy him back at the end of the next upcoming three seasons. We've been here before with Nico Paz, who Como, managed by FC Barcelona and Arsenal legend Cesc Fabregas, snapped up and took from the Spanish capital in similar circumstances last summer. As part of a $6.7 million (€6 million) agreement, Madrid also retained 50% of his rights of the Argentine midfield playmaker according to MARCA, and there have already been rumors that Los Blancos will bring him back to the Bernabeu. Doing this, and being a La Fabrica product that is sold elsewhere but then returns to Madrid after kicking on, is known as completing the 'Carvajal route', after legendary right back Dani Carvajal did it more than a decade ago via Bayer Leverkusen. It now remains to be seen who if either of them, follows his footsteps between Paz and Ramon. It was going to be difficult for Ramon to get minutes at Real Madrid With the likes of Dean Huijsen, Eder Militao, Antonio Rudiger and David Alaba in his way, it was always going to be hard for Ramon to get minutes at Real Madrid making a transfer a wise move for his development.
