The Caterham Formula One team has confirmed a "renewed and uprated" partnership with Dell/Intel for the 2014 season.

The news was confirmed as part of a re-branding and launch event at the team's Leafield headquarters in the UK on Tuesday, at which Kamui Kobayashi and Marcus Ericsson were confirmed as race drivers this season.

The Dell/Intel renewal is linked to a new agreement with Toyota Motorsport for use of the Japanese manufacturer's Cologne windtunnel.

"The two deals are linked as part of our new deal with Dell/Intel is a major upgrade to our high performance cluster, the supercomputer that powers all our IT needs," explained team principal Cyril Abiteboul.

"We are delighted that Dell/Intel have renewed their support for us as they have been a partner of ours in the truest sense of the word since the first days of the team. Now, amongst numerous other benefits, with the upgrades they are making to our HPC we have a dramatically uprated CFD capability, something which will be particularly important with the rule changes governing windtunnel usage in 2014."

The Cologne windtunnel will allow the team, which finished last in the 2013 constructors' championship and has yet to score a point in four seasons of Formula One, to test models at 60 per cent scale instead of the 50 per cent models it has used thus far.

Other team partners include General Electric and Airbus Group.
