That's pretty dire. Of course, the other two stories on that page have F1 links too: MTV was a sponsor of Simtek in the mid-1990s, and Virgin sponsored both Brawn and Manor around 6 years ago...

Go on, Baker, find F1 links in the other three stories. I'll have a go myself...
The Simpsons house: had to be repainted in a non-colour, a bit like... what David Coulthard's Red Bull looked like when it was given thewhite stripy makeover.
The Batmobile that had no engine: effectively like Life, right? That barely qualified as an engine. Or, maybe, we could mention Red Bull at the end of the 2015 season...
A Role In Your Favourite Movie (Is Embarrassing, If It Happens At All): something something Red Bull something something Ocean's Eleven, standing on the podium in Monaco in front of lots of very rich people wearing a Superman cape, something something David Coulthard.
Conclusion: Red Bull should be sponsored by Cracked!
