Mateschitz was instrumental in making Red Bull one of the world's largest energy drink companies, but also spearheaded the brand's ventures into sport.

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 also operates soccer teams in top divisions across Austria, Germany, Brazil and the U.S. 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. "Desperately sad news that we've learned of the passing of Dietrich," Red Bull F1 boss Christian Horner said Saturday. It's important that we recognise everything he has contributed to the sport, but not just the sport because it goes way, way beyond that." The latter, which operates out of Italy as the company's junior team, was renamed Toro Rosso and today competes as AlphaTauri.

Dietrich Mateschitz, who became Austria's richest man peddling Red Bull as an “efficiency product”, has died.

His holdings included a 1908 Art Nouveau guest house that a steelmaker no longer needed, a remote country house on the shores of Wolfgangsee and a tavern built in 1603. Rather, Red Bull acts as a sales centre with a focus on marketing: annual spending amounts to 20 per cent of revenue, more than the cost to produce the drink. In a 2011 report, the American Academy of Pediatrics warned about potential adverse effects for youth consuming energy drinks. Absent from high-society events like galas or opera festivals, he and his longtime girlfriend, Marion Feichtner, preferred the privacy of their homes in the Salzburg and Styria regions. Beside the main product, it markets a variety of Red Bull beverages, from cola to tonics to cactus-fruit infused flavours. Known as Didi, Mateschitz co-founded Red Bull GmbH in 1984 with Thai businessman Chaleo Yoovidhya after discovering that the caffeinated beverage eased his jet lag during a trip to Asia.

The who founded Red Bull and turned an energy drinks company into a Formula 1 powerhouse, Dietrich Mateschitz has passed away, aged 78.

Red Bull announced the news just minutes before its drivers Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez rolled out for Qualifying in the United States Grand Prix. Red Bull has also been a major part of Australian motorsport, with the brand being a major sponsor of Triple Eight Race Engineering, while Mateschitz also brought Austria’s A1 Ring and brought F1 back to the track after an 11-year absence. The Austrian businessman founded Red Bull in 1984 and was a massive driver behind its motorsport success.

Dietrich Mateschitz, who has died at the age of 78, was deliberately a man of mystery.

He said, when KTM in 1989 was in bankruptcy, he was preparing himself to buy it. In the Covid pandemic, he funded the Austrian GP to help keep the sport he loved afloat. In 2004, he and Heinz Kinigadner formed a non-profit foundation called Wings for Life. He was also active with a young driver programme which embraced Formula 2 and 3, but also sponsored racers and teams in many other categories. "Money was never a driving force for me,” he once said in a rare interview. When Peter Sauber decided to sign Kimi Raikkonen for 2001 instead of Mateschitz’s preferred driver Enrique Bernoldi (as he was keen to penetrate the Brazilian market) their relationship faltered, and after considering Arrows, at the end of 2004 Mateschitz bought the Jaguar team from Ford and named it Red Bull. It also helped that Germany and France initially banned the drink, which served only to increase interest in it and, of course, demand for it. He agreed a partnership with Chaleo Yoovidhya, the son of a poor Chinese immigrant who had been born in Siam in 1932, to market the drink worldwide. When the plan failed to materialise for Mercedes to take over the Sauber-Mercedes team, for whom Wendlinger drove, it made sense for Mateschitz to step in to support Peter Sauber’s efforts. Red Bull soon became very popular in Austria when launched in 1987, but that was only the start. That was the perfect marketing vehicle, not just because its global reach facilitated ever more dramatic expansion of Red Bull’s market, but because it also suited the ‘edgy’ youthful image that was so carefully crafted through other involvements in what were regarded as ‘high-risk’ sports, such as other motorsport categories, motorcycle racing, motocross, powerboating, hang-gliding, air racing and skateboarding. That was when, in Hong Kong in 1982, he came across a drink that locals said gave them an energy boost when they were tired.

Red Bull contends it has gained “zero benefit” from a development or operational perspective from its alleged Formula 1 budget cap breach.

“It’s a significant period of time. “And that’s where the interpretation comes from. Horner claimed that Red Bull has “absolutely not” gained an advantage. “It should be transparent, the whole thing should be transparent,” said Horner. Horner has pledged “complete transparency” once this matter is resolved and that he is willing to disclose Red Bull’s reasoning for its submission and why it disputes the FIA’s interpretations of certain aspects. “What you’ve got to look at is the relevant costs and what are the relevant costs within and outside of the cap,” said Horner.

Red Bull boss Christian Horner on Saturday hit out at McLaren counterpart Zak Brown for making “shocking” accusations of cheating over breaches of Formula ...

It was a general response, now that we are into the cost cap era, if someone breaches that, here’s what we think some of the ramifications are.” Red Bull are currently negotiating with the FIA to find agreement on what they can accept as a breach and a suitable level of punishment, which could be a fine or a points penalty. “Because of fictitious allegations from other teams. “We’re getting kids of employees bullied in playgrounds. To accuse you of fraudulent activity is shocking. “It’s absolutely shocking that another competitor, without the facts, without any knowledge of the details, can be making those kind of accusations.” Horner said Red Bull had been “on trial” because of accusations made in the wake of the Singapore Grand Prix earlier this month, with the team subjected to “the rhetoric of cheats”. Brown’s letter to the FIA and F1 chiefs said any breach of the financial regulations “constitutes cheating.” That drew a fiery response from Horner during Saturday’s press conference where he sat alongside Brown, insisting that Red Bull “absolutely and categorically” had not benefited from the rules breach.

Red Bull co-founder Dietrich Mateschitz, the man responsible for a game-changing Formula 1 operation, has died aged 78.

“He was always enthusiastic, encouraging, supportive, on the good days and the bad days. “He is the reason that we are here. It was in this era that his investment revived the Austrian Grand Prix, at the rebranded Red Bull Ring that he had purchased a decade earlier. Initially a sponsor and majority-owner of Sauber, Red Bull split with the Swiss team when it refused to run Enrique Bernoldi, one of the young drivers that Red Bull supported at the time. Red Bull went on to buy the underperforming Jaguar team in 2004 and rebranded it as Red Bull Racing for the following season. “He’s a remarkable man, what he’s done for so many.

Red Bull team principal Christian Horner says he was "appalled" by rival's accusations during Formula One's cost cap controversy,

"Zak's got a very convenient memory of the letter he sent, accusing us of cheating and being fraudulent. "I will say later why I think we have a different opinion within that submission of what our position was versus another. "Obviously we are in discussions with the FIA about what those costs are and what are mitigating potential circumstances etc. "The ranging suite of penalties are totally subjective," he added. "Without the facts, without any knowledge of the details, to be making that kind of accusation. That's where the interpretation comes from and our view is that our relevant costs are within the cap.

Mateschitz not only helped the energy drink become popular around the world, but also built up a sports, media, real estate and gastronomy empire.
