It’s the last day of relative peace and quiet before the 2012 season kicks off in earnest tomorrow, with the first physical car launch of the year. In the meantime, TORO ROSSO have confirmed their launch details, while RED BULL have enhanced their partnership with Casio. Journalists received an email from TORO ROSSO inviting them to “the launch of this year’s Scuderia Toro Rosso car, the STR7 on Monday 6 February 2012. Where: Paddock and Pitlane Jerez de la Frontera circuit. When: Monday 6 February commencing 17h30 trackside.” “RED BULL Racing has agreed an enhanced two-year extension to its existing deal with Casio,” the team announced in a press release. “The Japanese watch manufacturer will now become the Team’s Official Timing Partner for the 2012 season and beyond. The RB8 will feature the Casio logo on its nose as part of the new agreement and, as well as increased overall visibility, the logo will also appear on the 2012 team kit and in all partner listing areas. Our team principal Christian Horner commented: ‘It’s encouraging that we’re able to keep building and extending our relationships with long-term Partners, such as Casio. Formula 1 is focused on speed and accuracy, which is captured and reflected in the Casio EDIFICE watches worn by the drivers and the team. We very much look forward to working with them throughout the new season and beyond.’ Meanwhile, Hiroshi Nakamura, senior managing director and senior general manager of the global marketing headquarters, Casio Computer Co. Ltd., said of the new deal: ‘Over the last three years of our partnership with Red Bull Racing, our relationship has grown stronger and closer. The team is hugely popular around the world after winning the Drivers’ and Constructors’ Championships for two consecutive years. As a result, our partnership with Red Bull Racing has been extremely effective in the global promotion of EDIFICE watches.’” Check back here tomorrow for the latest news direct from the teams.
