Red Bull Racing sign TRUST as sponsor for 2009

[Giuseppe F1]

Im sure Horner/Arden's Trust connections played a part here - The TRUST logo will be visible on the chin guard area of the RBR drivers' helmets.

Does this mean a bevy of up and coming Dutch pilots testing for the team soon or being signed to the various Red Bull supported drivers within the Red Bull Junior Team programme perhaps?

why do folks think that because a team signs sponsorship from a company that happens to be based in a particular country, it has anything to do with which drivers get to do testing or receive a race seat in said team.

most of the companies that advertise are multinational corporations that can afford to place the exorbatant brand advertising on an F1 car. Their sphere of influence reaches far beyond their origins or HQ. And in many cases, those global markets are of far more importance than ther "presumed" backyard.

Exactly. Why doesn't Renault have Dutch drivers?!
