F1: Red Bull founder Dietrich Mateschitz dies aged 78 · RaceFans (RaceFans)

Dietrich Mateschitz, the billionaire whose Red Bull energy drinks firm grew into one of the biggest sponsors in motorsport, has died aged 78.

[Red Bull Ring](/f1-information/going-to-a-race/red-bull-ring-circuit-information/), while its Servus TV channel has the rights to broadcast the sport in Austria. Mateschitz has only occasionally appeared in person to witness his team’s success, and had not been seen in an F1 paddock for several years. Red Bull increased its presence in F1 when it took over as the title sponsor of the Sauber Formula 1 team in 1995. While Horner built Red Bull Racing into a championship-winning force, Mateschitz pounced on the opportunity to buy another F1 team the following year.

Dietrich Mateschitz, the co-founder of Red Bull who became a major player in motorsports and other sports, is dead at 78, according to the F1 team.

Later that year, he then also bought Minardi and renamed it Toro Rosso, astutely using the team as a feed team for Red Bull. German league regulations prevented the company from naming the team Red Bull Leipzig – its name in German, RasenBallsport, means “grass ball sport Leipzig” but the club just refers to itself as RB Leipzig. Red Bull says Mateschitz worked on the formula for three years before the modified drink was launched under its new name in his native Austria in 1987. Red Bull operates soccer teams in top divisions across Austria, Germany, Brazil and the United States. With the growing success of Red Bull, he significantly expanded his investments in sports. He was always enthusiastic, encouraging and supportive on the good days and the bad days,” Horner said.
