LONDON, Dec 4 (Reuters) - Red Bull will use a Renault engine 
for the 2016 season, branded by luxury watchmaker TAG Heuer, the 
team announced on Friday. 
    The new car will be christened the Red Bull Racing-TAG Heuer 
RB12. 
    "TAG Heuer and Red Bull are two transcendent brands which 
have both a passion for racing and a drive to do things 
differently, and this unique collaboration is further evidence 
of that," said team principal Christian Horner in a statement. 
    "We are also pleased to see Renault confirm its long-term 
commitment to F1 and would like to thank them for their 
contribution to the team since 2007." 
    Renault, who provided Red Bull with their engines this 
season, ended any doubt about their future by announcing a  
return to Formula One in 2016, taking over Lotus.
