Did I just dream all that? Can someone please explain?
More or less... The team is gonna be Aston Martin red bull... No word on whether the engine itslef will remained a tag heuer or also become an aston martin. I kinda doubt Renault would let them do that..

You can see why Renault is kinda annoyed with RB. For 4 years they pushed RB to 4 WCs and got almost zero publicity (partically their own fault I'm sure). Then RB slandered them for 3 years in a row (very bad publicity), and now they're winning with that engine and it's a TAg-heuer ;-(

I'm looking forward to seeing them in a MacLaren.
