When in Formula One came to an end in 2019, I have to admit, I was a little disappointed. The energy drinks’ time sponsoring Haas was such a beautiful mess, and then it was over. But I have some good news: Rich Energy is back because this is just one of those brands that never says die.

The former Formula One sponsor has somehow become long-term title sponsor of OMG Racing of road racing and British Superbike fame, reports. And while I totally understand that the OMG-Rich Energy partnership sounds extremely fake, it is all too real.

This year, the only American team in Formula One debuted with a new look and a new title sponsor.…

Here’s... here’s more of the context:

OMG team owner Alan Gardner admits his squad was aware of the Haas saga, but claims Storey and Rich Energy have been “transparent” in the two parties’ dealings.

Back in 2018, Haas’s boss Guenther Steiner claimed that the team had done its “” and consulted with legal advisors to guarantee that the deal was legitimate.

According to a , this is a “multi-million pound deal” and is intended to serve as a rejuvenation of Rich Energy’s image and brand reputation.

And the cherry on top of this new announcement? It has to be , which is fully capitalizing on the whole situation by proclaiming “OMG. We’re Back” and being fully sassy on their :

“They are loud and aren’t afraid to look a bit daft at times by doing things differently,” is certainly one way to describe Rich Energy.

Well... here’s hoping OMG know what they’re getting themselves into. Let’s all buckle up and enjoy this ride.
