History

Origins

See also:Stewart Grand PrixandJaguar Racing

The current Red Bull team traces its origins back to theStewart Grand Prixoutfit that made its debut in1997.Jackie Stewartsold his team to theFord Motor Companylate in 1999, and Ford made the decision to rebrand the teamJaguar Racingwith little subsequent success over the next five years.

Red Bull's involvement in Formula One dates back to1995,when it first sponsored theSauberteam.

The Jaguar RacingFormula Oneconstructor and racing team was put up for sale in September 2004 when Ford decided it could "no longer make a compelling business case for any of its brands to compete in Formula One."Red Bull, anenergy drinkscompany, agreed its purchase of Jaguar Racing on the final day of the sale, 15 November 2004.BBC Sportreported that Ford asked bidders for a symbolic US$1 in return for a commitment to invest US$400 million in the team over three Grand Prix seasons.The team continued to have access to theCosworthengine developed for their 2005 chassis, and the operation continued under the new title.Christian Hornerwas installed as the new team Boss and lined upDavid CoulthardandChristian Kliento drive for the team. The team operated under a British racing licence from2005to2006.

Red Bull Racing was not the start of Red Bull's involvement in Formula One, as they sponsoredSauberfrom 1995 to 2004. After buying a Formula One team of its own, Red Bull ended its long-term partnership with the Swiss team. Red Bull also runs a young drivers programme,Red Bull Junior Team,whereby Red Bull sponsors promising young drivers. High-profile drivers who have received this backing includeEnrique Bernoldi,Christian Klien,Patrick Friesacher,Vitantonio LiuzziandScott Speed.Red Bull also sponsors many drivers and teams competing in theFormula 2 Championship,Formula One's "feeder" series.

Red Bull's owner,Dietrich Mateschitz,reportedly tried to recruit former Formula One driver andBMW Motorsportchief (and fellow Austrian)Gerhard Bergerto help guide the team through its debut season. However, this was never realised. For2005,the chassis was christened theRB1.Red Bull Racing usedCosworthengines in its maiden year due to the ease of continuing with the engine Jaguar Racing used.

FormerMcLarendriver David Coulthard led the team. Coulthard was chosen for his experience, considered ideal to help lead the fledgling team. For the second car, Red Bull shared the drive between two of its young sponsored drivers:Christian Klien,who had driven for Jaguar in2004and 2004F3000championVitantonio Liuzzi.At first, it was announced that Klien and Liuzzi would swap driving duty every four races, but by the end of the season, Liuzzi had appeared only four times.

Red Bull's first year in Formula One was a massive success compared to its predecessors, Jaguar Racing. They were 6th in the Constructors' Championship for most of the season, only beaten by the fast-improvingBAR Hondasat the end of the season. In a single season, they amassed more points than Jaguar had in2003and 2004. Coulthard, after a poor 2003 and 2004 with McLaren, was a revelation for the team while Klien showed that he had vastly improved from 2004.Overall they scored 34 points; 24 for Coulthard, 9 for Klien and 1 for Liuzzi. Red Bull Racing was a consistent point and occasionalpodiumchallenger for most of their debut season.

American driverScott Speed,who rose through the ranks in the American equivalent of the Red Bull Junior Team,Red Bull Driver Search,was Red Bull Racing'sthird driverin 2005 for theCanadianandUnited StatesGrands Prix. Speed was attractive to Red Bull Racing because of his American nationality which would raise the profile of both Red Bull andFormula Onein America, a market where the sport has traditionally struggled to make an impact.

Ferrari engines (2006)

On 23 April 2005, the team announced a deal to utilise customerFerrariengines in2006.This coincided with a rule change mandating the use ofV8 engines,making it likely that both Red Bull Racing and Ferrari would use the same specification engine. Red Bull Racing continued to useMichelintyres, rather than theBridgestonesused by Ferrari.

Coulthard driving theRB2at the2006 German Grand Prix

On 8 November 2005, Red Bull Racing hiredAdrian Newey,the highly successfulMcLarentechnical director.

On 15 December 2005, the team's second car, theRed Bull RB2,hit the track for the first time. David Coulthard completed a handful of laps of theSilverstonecircuit in England, and declared the new car was a "sexy looking thing".In early testing Red Bull was plagued with cooling problems and overheating of car components.

At the opening race of the 2006 season inBahrain,Christian Klienqualified eighth (ahead ofGiancarlo Fisichella's Renault and both BMWs). Coulthard had problems when he flat-spotted a tyre fighting withNick Heidfeld,and finished 10th; the cooling problems returned when hisFerrariengine expired on the slowing down lap, forcing a grid penalty for the following race. InMalaysia,Coulthard made up several places from the back of the grid but was forced to retire with hydraulic problems, while Klien had an opening lap incident withKimi Räikkönenand after pitting for repairs also retired with hydraulic failure. Coulthard got a point inAustraliaafter Scott Speed was penalised for passing him under the yellow flags. The following races were marred with retirements and lowly finishes.

Coulthard finished 3rd atMonaco,the team's first podium finish. Team Boss Christian Horner said before the race that if one of his cars were to finish on the podium, he would jump into a swimming pool at the track naked. He ended up jumping into the pool wearing only a red cape. Coincidentally bothStewart Grand PrixandJaguar Racing,the team's predecessors, also scored their maiden podiums at that race.

Robert Doornbosreplaced Klien for the last three races of the2006season.

Coulthard scored a point atMontreal,passingJenson Buttonin the closing stages of the race despite starting in last place due to an engine change that warranted a grid penalty. Klien also fared well, driving the second RB2 to 11th position. At theUnited States Grand PrixKlien retired along with eight other cars includingToro Rossodriver Scott Speed on the first lap after a series of first corner incidents. Coulthard finished 7th.

The team finished 7th in the FIA Constructors' Championship, with 16 points, five points ahead of the strugglingWilliamsteam. Coulthard (14 pts) finished in 13th place in the drivers' standings, the departed Klien (2 pts) was classified in 18th position. Klien's replacement,Robert Doornbos,failed to score any points.

2007saw the debut of the Adrian Newey designedRB3.After lengthy discussions over Red Bull Racing's obligation to continue to use Ferrari engines for 2007, the team announced on 31 August 2006 they would use customer Renault engines for the 2007 season,the Ferrari contract being passed toScuderia Toro Rosso.

The team announced on 7 August 2006 that it had signedMark Webberto drive alongside Coulthard for the 2007 season, replacingChristian Klienwho ended his association with the team. Klien was replaced byRobert Doornbosfor the last three races of 2006. Doornbos became the team's non-racing third driver for 2007.In 2007 Red Bull officially became an Austrian constructor by receiving an Austrian licence, though continued to operate from the same base in Britain.

Despite qualifying in 7th place for his home race inMelbourne,Mark Webberfinished down in 13th due to a persistent problem with a fuel flap that closed as the pit mechanics went to put the fuel in and when it was opened it remained open until the next pit stop greatly increasing drag and decreasing airflow over the rear wing. It was worse for Coulthard however, who crashed heavily withWilliams'sAlexander Wurzin the late stages of the race.Malaysiawas more of the same for Webber, while Coulthard retired with brake problems. However, inBahrainthe team showed improving pace, and Coulthard and Webber were running 7th (with Coulthard starting from the back) and 8th respectively before reliability problems put both out of the race in quick succession. However, in testing atBarcelonaCoulthard has set the fastest lap in the new configuration of the circuit (since superseded byFelipe Massa). Coulthard secured the team's first points by scoring a gritty 5th with a faulty gearbox on his closing laps inSpain,while Webber was dogged with hydraulic problems all weekend, eventually retiring from the race after failing to set a competitive lap in qualifying. The performance hike the team experienced at the Catalan track left both drivers and team optimistic about their future results, with reliability troubles being as much a focus as the increase of their already competitive pace.

Red Bull Racing further strengthened their technical department by hiringGeoff Willisas Technical Director on 17 July 2007.

After this, the drivers seemed to have a stroke of good luck during the unpredictable and exciting2007 European Grand Prixin which Webber finished 3rd, his second career podium. Coulthard backed it up with a strong 5th which was made all the more impressive by the fact he started 20th on the grid after the team mistakenly kept him in the pits too long resulting in him not being able to complete another qualifying lap.

Red Bull had a strong end to the season. Webber came close to victory at theJapanese Grand Prix,but he was involved in a crash withSebastian Vettel.During the same race, Coulthard again demonstrated his wet-weather ability and finished 4th.

At theChinese Grand Prix,Red Bull had a competitive qualifying session. Coulthard achieved 5th on the grid, along with Webber in 9th.

2008 season

Mark Webberdriving for RBR at the2008 Spanish Grand Prix

Red Bull continued with the same drivers in2008and had numbers 9 and 10 on their cars after finishing 5th in the 2007 Constructors' Championship. Red Bull presented theRB4at theJerez circuiton 16 January and announced thatSébastien Buemiwould be their test and reserve driver for 2008 combining it with his GP2 drive with theArden InternationalGP2 team.

After Webber retired from theopening roundhe went on to score 5 consecutive points finishes. Coulthard had a tougher start to the 2008 campaign due to poor qualifying, but a 3rd place atCanadagave Red Bull their first podium since the2007 European Grand Prix.At the half-way mark, the team had notched up 24 points – the same as their total for the 2007 season – and were locked in a fierce battle withToyotaand Renault for 4th in the Constructors' Championship. The team had also resolved the reliability problems that had dogged them the previous year.

However, as the season progressed, Red Bull failed to keep up with their competitors. Red Bull scored just 5 points in the last 10 races, andToro Rosso– the Red Bull 'B team' – had overhauled their total by the season's end and won the rain-affectedItalian Grand Prix,becoming the first Red Bull-owned team to win a race. This fact led many to claim that the Renault engine powering the Red Bull was lacking in horsepower compared to the Ferrari and Mercedes engines. For the 2009 season, Renault was allowed to equalise the difference in engine power compared to their competitors after the single-year freeze in engine development from 2007.

Webber notched up his 50th top ten grid position in 107 Grands Prix at theSpanish Grand Prix.Coulthard announced his retirement from Formula One at theBritish Grand Prixand, despite hopes for a strong final home Grand Prix, was forced to retire on the first lap, which also occurred at his final race inBrazilwhere he retired at the second corner.

2009 season

For2009,Red Bull Racing launched their newRB5chassis virtually on 8 February utilising a 3D computer-generated video narrated by Sebastian Vettel. The physical launch of the car was held the next day. The team secured their first pole position at theChinese Grand Prixwith Sebastian Vettel, posting the fastest time with just a single qualifying lap in Q3. Mark Webber qualified in third on the grid. The next day, Vettel won, with Webber second.Vettel's victory, in rain-soaked conditions, marked Red Bull Racing's first-ever win(although the team's predecessor,Stewart GP,had won the1999 European Grand Prixcourtesy ofJohnny Herbert).

In the next race atBahrainafter qualifying 3rd,Vettel finished second behindJenson Buttonand collected another eight world championship points.At theSpanish Grand Prix,Webber and Vettel finished third and fourth respectively, after having qualified fifth and second. InTurkey,Webber and Vettel finished second and third respectively. At theBritish Grand Prixthe car had new upgrades and Sebastian Vettel won after qualifying on pole position, ending championship leader Jenson Button's run of four straight wins. The team scored another 1–2 at theGerman Grand Prixwith Mark Webber (who scored his first win despite being given a drive-through penalty earlier on) leading home Sebastian Vettel. Mark Webber also took his second Formula One victory at theBrazilian Grand Prix.Another 1–2 finish for the team was achieved at the season-endingAbu Dhabi Grand Prix,this time with Vettel finishing ahead of Webber.

Vettel finished second in the Drivers' Championship with 84 points, 11 behind Jenson Button. Mark Webber finished fourth with 69.5 points. The team also finished second in the Constructors' Championship with 153.5 points, 18.5 points behindBrawn GP.

2010 season

See also:2010 Formula One World Championship

For the 2010 season, the team retained bothMark WebberandSebastian Vettel,with Renault remaining the engine supplier.

At the opening round, theBahrain Grand Prix,Vettel took pole position while Webber qualified sixth. Vettel led the race until he slowed due to a spark-plug failure,while the twoFerrarisandLewis Hamiltonovertook Vettel. Vettel finished fourth, and Webber finished eighth.

InAustralia,Vettel again took pole, with Webber in the second position. Vettel led the race and again looked set to take the race, but he reported a vibration of one of the front wheels on his car. The problem seemed to subside, and the decision was made to keep him on the track rather than pit him. A few corners later, the problem struck again, and Vettel ran off the track and subsequently retired, due to brake failure. Webber got wheelspin off the line and gave up one position on the run to the first right-handed corner. Subsequent errors led to him dropping a few more places, and near the end of the race, he crashed with Hamilton, destroying his front wing. He pitted to get a new one, and finished ninth, scoring two points.

InMalaysia,Webber took pole with Vettel in the third position. Vettel managed to pass bothNico Rosbergand Webber before the first corner, leading for all bar two laps en route to his and the team's first victory of the year. Webber led the other two laps and eventually finished second, with the team moving up into third in the Constructors' Championship.

Vettel won the 2010 World Drivers' Championship at the season-endingAbu Dhabi Grand Prix.

The team once again scored pole position inChina,when Vettel managed to set a faster time than Webber, who completed the front row. Webber overtook Vettel at the start, but both were overtaken byFernando Alonso,who was later given a penalty for a false start. The race was then hit by rain andJenson Buttonmade the best strategy call and won the race, Vettel finished sixth whilst Webber was eighth. This left Vettel and Webber fifth and seventh in the Drivers' Championship respectively, and the team in third in the Constructors' Championship.

At theSpanish Grand Prixthe two drivers were the other way around, with Webber on pole position and Vettel second on the grid. Webber won the race without too much trouble.Vettel, however, suffered brake problems and dropped to fourth – this became third when Hamilton had a puncture and crashed from second on the penultimate lap.

Webber took pole position again at theMonaco Grand Prix;Vettel qualified third behindRenault'sRobert Kubica,but overtook him at the start. Webber won the race and Vettel finished in second place. After the race, Webber was leading the championship after being in seventh after China, with Vettel in second place (this was only by countback though because both drivers were on 78 points). The team was leading the Constructors' Championship.

At theTurkish Grand Prix,Webber again took pole position, taking the team's run of pole positions to seven consecutive races, with Vettel third on the grid. Following the pit stops, Webber and Vettel were running first and second until lap 40, when Vettel attempted to overtake Webber, leading to a collision between the two. Webber finished third, while Vettel was forced to retire. Neither driver took 100% of responsibility while senior members of the team alluded to the thought that Webber had not provided "enough room" for Vettel.

InCanada,Hamilton took pole position – the first non-Red Bull pole of the year. Webber and Vettel were second and third respectively in qualifying before the pair finished fourth and fifth in the race. The team admitted that it was a track that the car struggled with.

At theEuropean Grand PrixinValencia, Spain,Vettel won from pole position, leading every lap of the race. Webber collided with the Lotus ofHeikki Kovalainen,flipping his Red Bull car into a somersault before landing and crashing into a tyre barrier.

At theBritish Grand PrixatSilverstone,Vettel took pole position but after a bad start, he got a puncture and subsequently dropped to the back of the field, eventually finishing seventh. Webber, who started from second, won after leading for the entire race.

Vettel qualified in pole position in front of the two Ferraris inGermany,but finished his home race behind the pair in third place. Webber qualified in fourth but finished in sixth behind both the McLaren cars. During the raceFelipe Massacontroversially letFernando Alonsopast into the lead to win the race after a message from the team. Red Bull team principal Christian Horner said: "That was the most blatant team order ever".He also criticised Ferrari for not letting their drivers race each other.

At theHungarian Grand PrixinBudapest,Vettel again took pole position and was leading until the safety car came out. He was second behind Webber, who started second and was then given a drive-through penalty for exceeding the ten-car maximum distance between himself and the safety car. This cost him second place and he finished third. Webber won the race after using his super-soft tyres for over half the race to build up a lead to keep him ahead after his stop. Webber won withFernando Alonsoten seconds behind in second place.

TheBelgian Grand Prixsaw Webber claim pole position, despite McLaren and Ferrari having a straight-line speed advantage. At the start, the anti-stall device on Webber's car came on, dropping the Australian to 5th. Vettel, meanwhile in 3rd (after starting 4th) was chasing Jenson Button for 2nd place when he collided with the Brit at the Bus Stop. After sensing an inside passing opportunity, Vettel attempted to quickly change direction while under braking, causing the car to spear into the side of Button's McLaren. Button retired from the race, while Vettel was able to pit for repairs. He subsequently received a drive-through penalty for his action and suffered a rear tyre puncture while attempting to overtakeVitantonio Liuzzi,finishing 15th. Webber was able to capitalise on the DNF of Button and Alonso, as well as a mistake by Renault'sRobert Kubica,during his pit stop, and finish 2nd, behind race winner Hamilton.

At theItalian Grand PrixinMonza,Webber had a bad start and was 9th from 4th place on the grid after the first lap. Vettel had brake binding problems for a short period, around lap 20, and he too dropped back a place but was then back on the pace. Webber was held back byNico Hülkenbergin the latter part of the race, until he passed, and finished 6th. Vettel stayed out on soft tyres until the penultimate lap, doing better lap times than Webber and overtaking Mark when he pitted, to finish fourth.

At theKorean Grand PrixinYeongam,Vettel gave the team its 19th pole position, while Webber started second, making it a Red Bull front row. On lap 18, Webber spun and hit the wall, and hit theMercedesofNico Rosberg,causing both drivers to retire. Worse was to come for the team when Vettel's engine failed just 10 laps from the finish, while he was in the lead, and the German retired and handed his lead toFernando Alonsoin theFerrari.Red Bull had suffered their first double retirement since the2008 Australian Grand Prixand as a result, Webber lost his championship lead and Vettel's engine failure prevented him from leading the championship for the first time in 2010, but the team still led the Constructors' Championship.

At theBrazilian Grand PrixinSão Paulo,Red Bull Racing became Constructors' Champion for the first time after Sebastian Vettel and Mark Webber finished 1–2 in the race, enough to finish ahead ofMcLarenandFerrari.In doing so Red Bull became the first Austrian team to win the Formula One Constructors' Championship. Christian Horner stated that the main goal had been achieved and that now his remaining aim was to win the Drivers' Championship and put the icing on the cake of Red Bull's year. In some other teams, the drivers would have been told to change positions, to improve better placed Mark Webber's chances to win the drivers' title in the last race, but the team insisted that the faster driver should win the race, and kept being reluctant to give any orders of the kind "let your teammate pass" to their drivers.

In thefinal raceatAbu Dhabi,Sebastian Vettel won the race and the Formula One Drivers' Championship. Red Bull finished the year with a total of 9 Grand Prix victories with five going to Sebastian Vettel and four going to Mark Webber. Red Bull claimed a total of 15 pole positions with 10 going to Vettel and five going to Webber. The team scored six fastest laps three scored by Vettel and three scored by Webber. Horner also praised the sportsmanship of both drivers stating that they conducted themselves in a well orderly and mannered fashion.

Red Bull Racing was officially promoted toRenault's full-works partnership status, receiving free engines as Renault's full-works constructor team was rebranded toLotus Renault GP.BothSebastian VettelandMark Webberwere retained by the team for the2011season, as was engine supplier Renault.Vettel defended his world title – becoming the ninth driver to do so – after winning eleven of the season's races, and also achieved 15 pole positions during the season, breakingNigel Mansell's record from the1992season. Webber finished the season in third place in the championship, taking one victory, in the final race of the season inBrazil.The team also defended their respective title, as they finished the season with 650 points in the Constructors' Championship, 153 points ahead of the next closest team,McLaren.Nissan's premium automotive brandInfinitijoined Red Bull Racing as an official partner for the 2011 and 2012 seasons which saw Infiniti logos appear on the race car,drivers overallsand team kit.

2012 season

For the 2012 season, Red Bull retained the duo ofSebastian VettelandMark Webberfrom the previous three years. Webber was signed on a one-year contract extension while Vettel continued under his current multi-year agreement, ending at the end of 2014. Vettel won the Drivers' Championship for a third consecutive time in 2012 making him the youngest triple World Champion, surpassingAyrton Senna.

2013 season

Sebastian Vetteldisobeyed team orders and made a controversial overtake on teammateMark Webberat the2013 Malaysian Grand Prix.

The team was renamed Infiniti Red Bull Racing for the 2013 season following the announcement that premium automotive brand Infiniti had become Title Partner and Vehicle Performance Partner of the team.Infiniti Red Bull continued with driversSebastian VettelandMark Webberfor the fifth consecutive season. As with 2012, Webber was signed on a single year contract while Vettel continued to honour his current multi-year agreement.

InAustralia,the first race of the season, Vettel placed the new RB9 on pole position but struggled in the race finishing in 3rd place behind title rivals of 2012, Kimi Räikkönen and Fernando Alonso whilst teammate Webber finished in sixth place. InMalaysiathe team went better with Vettel again putting the RB9 on pole, but unlike in Australia winning the race, albeit under heavy controversy. Vettel won the race after disobeying a direct team order. Red Bull ordered both its drivers to maintain position with the now infamous ‘Multi 21’ instruction, which was a code for the driver in car #2 (Webber) must remain ahead of the other driver in car #1 (Vettel). Vettel ignored the order and passed Webber with 13 laps remaining. In the cool down room Webber could be heard asking his teammate "Multi-21, Seb. Multi-21!” and so despite the 1–2 result, the race was overshadowed by Vettel's actions. InChina,the third race of the season, Vettel qualified in 9th whilst Webber qualified 14th after an issue with his fuel pick up led him to have to stop the car on the track. Infiniti Red Bull failed to give the FIA a 1-litre fuel sample, therefore, placing Webber at the back of the grid. The downfall of his performance was matched when a collision and then a dislodged wheel nut led to Webber not completing the race. Vettel finished in 4th, retaining his lead in the World Championship. InBahrain,the fourth race of the season, Vettel qualified in second place behind Nico Rosberg. Webber qualified fifth but after a 3 place grid penalty started the race in seventh. In the race, Webber failed to improve on his qualifying position finishing 7th whilst his teammate won the race in a dominating fashion. After the fourth race of the season, Infiniti Red Bull finished the first round of flyaway races leading both the Drivers' and Constructors' Championships.Sebastian Vettelextended his contract with Infiniti Red Bull Racing until the end of 2015, despite interests in racing for Ferrari and Mercedes. At theBritish Grand Prix,Mark Webber announced his retirement from Formula One at the end of the season, having signed a deal with Porsche in theFIA World Endurance Championshipfor 2014.It was then announced before the Italian Grand Prix thatDaniel Ricciardo,the Toro Rosso driver, would replace Webber for the 2014 season, ending talk of Lotus's Kimi Räikkönen taking Webber's seat.

At theItalian Grand Prix,Vettel secured the team's 50th pole position, and 40th Grand Prix victory.At theIndian Grand Prix,Vettel sealed the Drivers' Championship title, and in doing so, won the Constructors' Championship for Infiniti Red Bull Racing for the fourth consecutive year.

2014 season

Daniel Ricciardowon three races in 2014 with theRed Bull RB10.

Infiniti Red Bull started the season with reigning World ChampionSebastian VettelandDaniel Ricciardowho replacedMark Webberafter he had announced in 2013 that he would be moving toPorschein theWorld Endurance Championshipfor 2014.

In pre-season testing, it became clear, not just from Red Bull, but other Renault teams that the Renault engine was very unreliable and down on power compared to the Ferrari and Mercedes engines. Renault struggled to get the new hybrid engine to function properly all through testing with the combustion engine, the kinetic recovery system, and the turbo all unable to work as one.

At theAustralian Grand Prix,Ricciardo had qualified second on his first race for the team while Vettel qualified a rather distant 13th being at least 1.8 seconds off pole-sitter Lewis Hamilton. In the race itself, Ricciardo finished second while Vettel retired after just three laps due to a power unit failure. However, after the race, Ricciardo was disqualified for violating the FIA's new rule of capping fuel use at 100 kg per hour in each race. He thus lost his podium finish. Red Bull appealed this decision on 14 April but lost their case.

At theMalaysian Grand PrixVettel qualified second while Ricciardo qualified fifth. On lap 49 Ricciardo had to retire due to a technical failure while Vettel went on to finish third and earn his first podium finish of the season. Ricciardo was hit with a ten-place grid penalty for theBahrain Grand Prix,due to an unsafe release by Red Bull at one of his pit stops. At theBahrain Grand PrixRicciardo qualified third, but dropped to 13th due to his ten-place grid penalty from the previous week. Vettel qualified 11th. Ricciardo managed to finish fourth, obtaining his first championship points of the season. Vettel finished sixth. At theChinese Grand Prix,under harsh weather conditions, Ricciardo qualified 2nd, with Vettel qualifying third. Ricciardo finished in 4th again, nearly 25 seconds ahead of his teammate Vettel, who finished 5th.

Ricciardo would go on to obtain the first podium finish in his career as a Formula One driver at theSpanish Grand Prix,after qualifying third, over a second behind polesitter Lewis Hamilton. Vettel did not participate in Q3 due to problems with his gearbox, which ultimately needed to be replaced, incurring a five-place grid penalty. Despite starting from the 15th position, Vettel managed to finish the race in 4th, setting the fastest lap of the race in the process. InCanada,Ricciardo won the race, achieving his first career victory in Formula One.

After anAustrian Grand Prixwith poor results, including Vettel's retirement, Christian Horner described the performance of the Renault engine as "unacceptable."He also mocked Renault in an interview withServus TVby saying that "the big difference between Mercedes and Renault is that when a driver with a Mercedes engine pushes the overtake button his car goes faster. When our drivers, which have a Renault engine, push the button, the car stops!"

The team finished second in the championship on 405 points, with the team only winning three races throughout the season.

Daniel Ricciardo returned for a second season with the team. At the previous year'sJapanese Grand Prix,the team announced that Vettel would leave after the 2014 season. He was replaced byDaniil Kvyatfor 2015, who had spent a single season with the juniorToro Rossoteam.

2015 for Infiniti Red Bull was seen initially as a continuous resurgence for the team. It was expected from the progress Renault made with the engine in 2014 that in 2015 it would be close to the Mercedes duo of Hamilton and Rosberg. However, it quickly became apparent that reliability, power, and drivability were all major issues that plagued the team through the season.

At theAustralian Grand PrixRicciardo qualified 7th while Kvyat qualified 13th. Kvyat failed to start the race due to a gearbox failure, whilst Ricciardo finished the race in sixth, a lap down from the race winner, Lewis Hamilton. The team scored their best finish inHungary,where Ricciardo and Kvyat finished 2–3. Their only opportunity to win a race occurred at theUnited States Grand Prix,however, both of the team's drivers made some mistakes allowing both of the Mercedes cars to pass them. Lewis Hamilton won the race and, as a result, his third Formula One World Championship.

Come the end of the season, it was the first winless season for Infiniti Red Bull since 2008, and come seasons end, Red Bull wanted to end its partnership with Renault due to the lack of progress and confidence expressed by Renault. Red Bull would however be unable to agree to have another engine instead opting to run Renault engines for the 2016 season but rebadged as TAG-Heuer.

They ended the season in fourth place on 187 points with Kvyat in seventh (95 points) and Ricciardo in eighth (92 points), their lowest finish position in seven years.

2016 season

For 2016, Red Bull Racing used Renault engines branded asTAG Heuerdue to their public breakdown with Renault in 2015. Infiniti also departed as a main sponsor to the newly reformedRenault Sport Formula One Teamfor the same reason. The team announced on 17 March 2016, one day before theAustralian Grand Prixweekend, that they had formed a new technology partnership withAston Martin,for the new season.

At theChinese Grand Prix,Red Bull recorded their first podium of the season withDaniil Kvyatfinishing third behindSebastian VettelandNico Rosberg.

Daniil Kvyat and Max Verstappen traded places ahead of theSpanish Grand Prix,with Verstappen promoted to Red Bull Racing and Kvyat returning toScuderia Toro Rosso.Verstappen eventually won the Spanish Grand Prix, becoming the youngest ever Grand Prix winner.

TogetherDaniel RicciardoandMax Verstappenwon two races during the 2016 season with theRed Bull RB12.

2016 in general was a much stronger season for Red Bull Racing than 2015, especially after Max Verstappen replacedDaniil Kvyat.This may be becauseDaniel Ricciardowas pushed much more by Verstappen than he was by Kvyat, Ricciardo stating he has learned from Verstappen's driving techniques to improve as a driver.Red Bull would go on to collect podium finishes with Max Verstappen inAustriaandSilverstone,with Daniel Ricciardo inMonaco,Budapestand inSingapore,with both Verstappen and Ricciardo being on the podium inGermanyandMalaysia.Daniel Ricciardo collected his 4th career victory inMalaysiaafter Lewis Hamilton's engine failure. Verstappen had challenged for the victory but was compromised due to an incident at the start between Vettel and Rosberg leading to Verstappen referring to Vettel as 'crazy'.This incident was the latest flare-up between Vettel and Verstappen after the two disagreed over a first corner collision at theBelgian Grand Prixwhich resulted in Max failing to score at a race where he started on the front row, outqualifying his teammate for only the 2nd time, in which a large number of Dutch fans had travelled to see him race.

Towards the end of theBrazilian Grand PrixVerstappen dropped to 14th after changing back to wet tyres. He then gained 11 places in the closing 16 laps finishing in third place.

Red Bull Racing finished second in the Constructors' Championship that year, with Daniel Ricciardo taking third in the Drivers' Championship.

Ricciardo and Verstappen were both retained by the team for the 2018 season. On 25 September 2017, it was announced thatAston Martinwould become Red Bull Racing's title sponsor from 2018.

The team suffered a double retirement at theBahrain Grand Prix;Ricciardo retired on lap 2 with an electrical issue, whilst Verstappen retired two laps later. Ricciardo then took the team's first win of the season at the following race, theChinese Grand Prix,having started sixth on the grid. During theAzerbaijan Grand Prix,both drivers crashed into each other at Turn 1. The team achieved a podium with Verstappen, during theSpanish Grand Prixsecuring the 3rd place, while Ricciardo achieved 5th place. At theMonaco Grand PrixRed Bull had a dominant car due to its highly efficient high down-force setup. Ricciardo scored a pole position, and despite running into an engine issue costing him power, he eventually won the race. This incident re-ignited the bad relationship with its engine manufacturer, Renault. Meanwhile, Verstappen crashed during free practice 3 and started from 20th on the grid, finishing the race in 9th place. This race also put an end to a streak of incidents for Verstappen. Monaco was also the last race that saw Daniel Ricciardo on the podium with Red Bull, with him parting ways with the team and joining rival team Renault at the end of the season.

The European season saw consistent podiums and a good form, with Verstappen winning Red Bull's home race at the Red Bull Ring during theAustrian Grand Prix.The second half of the season saw great form from Verstappen and good development of the car, as Verstappen scored 6 out of 8 possible podiums, and was the driver which scored the most points following the 2018 World Champion Lewis Hamilton. Ricciardo had a spree of mechanical issues and retirements during the second half of the season, with him getting 7 retirements in total and no podiums after the first six races coming to the end of the season. Verstappen won theMexican Grand Prixfrom second after pole position was grabbed by his teammate, making it Red Bull's first front-row lock-out in the turbo-hybrid era.

Verstappen was also finding himself in a back-to-back win at theBrazilian Grand Prixbut clashed with rival Esteban Ocon as the latter tried to unlap himself, costing him the victory. Following the race the drivers conflicted, resulting in 2 days of public service for Verstappen, which he completed on 9 February 2019.Ricciardo's multiple retirements would end up costing both himself and Red Bull key points in the Drivers' and Constructors' Championships. Verstappen would finish the 2018 season in 4th place, just 3 points behindKimi Räikkönenwhile Daniel Ricciardo would finish the season in 6th place, behindValtteri Bottas.Red Bull would finish the season in 3rd place behind Mercedes and Ferrari.

By theFrench Grand Prix,Red Bull, encouraged by the progress of Honda in the sister team Scuderia Toro Rosso, decided that in 2019 it would officially end its relationship with Renault for the Honda power.

Corporate information

Image and marketing

A distinctive RBR helmet-shaped stand

Red Bull has been very vocal about wanting to make Formula One "fun" again. One way in which they went about doing that was by employing Mark Gallagher, who was head of marketing for nine years atJordan,itself an exciting brand in the late 1990s.Red Bull also startedThe Red Bulletin,a sports and adventure magazine that is released four times per race weekend and distributed to the paddock and members of the public from behind the main grandstand at each track.

In the2006 Monaco Grand Prix,they supported the movieSuperman Returns,which continues the line of marketing events begun by theStar Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sithpromotion of 2005 (in the 2005 race, the pit crew dressed up asclone troopers) and theOcean's Twelvepromotion of 2004, as well asTerminator 3: Rise of the Machinespromotion of 2003 when the team ran under theJaguar Racingbanner. When Coulthard finished third in the 2006 race, he donned aSupermancape for his appearance on the podium.

In the2019 British Grand Prix,007logos were used in the livery to replace theAston Martinlogos, to celebrate the 1007th Grand Prix. The cars also had Bond-themed number plates on the underside of their rear wings. Max Verstappen had the number plate from theAston Martin DB5fromGoldfinger(BMT 216A) whilePierre Gasly's car featured theAston Martin V8plate (B549 WUU) fromThe Living Daylights.Both drivers wore special racing overalls with a print of a single-breasted dinner suit.The 007 logo was first used during their race as Jaguar in the2002 seasonto promoteDie Another Day.

Red Bull Technology Limited,previouslyRed Bull Racing Holdings Limited,is the parent company of Red Bull Racing set up to design, engineer, and build the cars for its Formula One team, and previously its sister teamScuderia Toro Rosso.Red Bull Technology was regarded as a loop-hole to allow Red Bull to run two teams with the same car from 2007, which had been prohibited in Formula One since the 1980s. Complaints were issued to the FIA from rival teams, but they were discarded by the sport's governing body.Neither Red Bull Racing nor Scuderia Toro Rosso denied they ran fundamentally the same chassis, but claimed the separate development programs, different engines and in their opinion that the chassis was designed by neither team made it legal.

The regulations were changed in 2010 to forbid the use of identical cars between teams, and Toro Rosso no longer had its cars produced by Red Bull Technology. Since then the team indigenously designed and built their cars, having built the necessary infrastructure in-house.

Red Bull Technology also partneredScuderia Toro Rosso,later Scuderia AlphaTauri and Visa Cash App RB as their transmission partner and supplier from 2006 onwards, and KERS partner and supplier from 2011 to 2013.

Sister Formula One team

Main articles:Scuderia Toro Rosso,Scuderia AlphaTauri,andRB Formula One Team

In the autumn of 2005, Red Bull announced that they had purchased the cash-strappedMinardiFormula One team, and it would be known asScuderia Toro Rosso(Italian forTeam Red Bull)(STR) from 2006 onwards. STR operates as a separate team, but the two share certain technical resources. In 2006, STR used a chassis based on the 2005 Red Bull RacingRed Bull RB1chassis, originally designed by Jaguar Racing, and Minardi's contracted supply of rev-limitedV10Cosworthengines. It was widely speculated that the 2007 chassis for both teams would be essentially the sameAdrian Neweydesign, although Red Bull was careful to announce that the "STR2 will be built by Red Bull Technology, and Toro Rosso will fully own the intellectual rights of the car".Formula One teams are not allowed to use another team's chassis. STR has been used as a 'B' team for Red Bull Racing, allowing the company to work with more drivers. As of the 2010 season this arrangement was outlawed, and the STR5 is the first Toro Rosso car designed and built in-house.In 2006, Red Bull Racing driverVitantonio Liuzziwas given a full-time seat with STR alongside another Red Bull sponsored driver,Scott Speed.Liuzzi retained his seat in STR for the 2007 season.Sebastian Vettelreplaced Speed in the middle of the 2007 season, andSébastien Bourdaisreplaced Liuzzi at STR for the2008season. Against expectation, Toro Rosso performed well during the 2008 season and Sebastian Vettel won the2008 Italian Grand Prix.This meant that STR took their first win before Red Bull Racing, and helped to secure Vettel a drive with Red Bull Racing for 2009 when he also took that team's first win.

For2020,the team was rebranded as Scuderia AlphaTauri to promote Red Bull's fashion brandof the same name.Scuderia AlphaTauri achieved their maiden Grand Prix win under the new name at the2020 Italian Grand Prix.The race markedPierre Gasly's first career race victory and the first for a French driver sinceOlivier Paniswon the1996 Monaco Grand Prix24 years prior.

For2024,the team was rebranded asRB Formula One Teamand is competing asVisaCash AppRB Formula One Team.Daniel RicciardoandYuki Tsunodawere retained from theprevious season.
