Oracle Red Bull Racing

From its inception in 2005, Red Bull Racing has grown from being Formula One’s biggest disruptive forces to become one of the most successful teams in the sport’s history, with 122 victories, eight Drivers’ and six Constructors’ titles. And as it enters its third decade at the pinnacle of motorsport the Team’s maverick spirit and relentless will to win remain unchanged.

Led by Team Principal and CEO, Christian Horner, the Team arrived in F1 with a bang, scoring a double points finish on its track debut and causing a stir off-track with a work hard-play hard mindset that won many friends and admirably ruffled a few feathers.

But it was the race hard ethos that ensured progress and, with renowned designer Adrian Newey on board, the Team began an upward curve that led to its first victory and first 1-2, at the 2009 Chinese Grand Prix, with new recruit Sebastian Vettel leading team-mate Mark Webber across the line.

Five more wins would follow in 2009, but the breakthrough was only a prelude for the dominance to come. In 2010 both Seb and Mark vied for title glory, but it was Seb who took the title in a dramatic final-round showdown to become F1’s youngest champion. The Team also brought home its first Constructors’ title. It sparked a remarkable period of dominance for the Team as it went on to secure three more consecutive double title wins with Seb leading the way throughout.

However, the introduction of hybrid power in 2014 resulted in a reordering of the grid and a fallow period during which Seb departed. A new generation of talent came through, led by Australia’s Daniel Ricciardo. Two years later the Team welcomed another gifted young racer to the fold in the shape of Max Verstappen and the Dutch driver stunned the paddock by winning his first race with the Team, the 2016 Spanish Grand Prix.
