History

Dietrich Mateschitz, the billionaire behind soft drink Red Bull formed an F1 team in 2005 having bought the remnants of Jaguar Racing from Ford. The company had previous sponsored F1 drivers.

The team made several major signings both of technical staff and drivers, showing its determination to succeed in F1. The most prominent of which was the hiring of top designer Adrian Newey, who had crafted world championship-winning cars for Williams and McLaren.

Sebastian Vettel scored the team’s breakthrough victory in 2009 and went on to finish second in the drivers’ championship that year.

Newey’s race-winning RB5 laid the groundwork for a series of championship-winning cars to follow.

In 2010 the combination of Vettel and the RB6 captured the drivers’ and constructors’ championship for the team. Both driver and team retained their titles after a dominant 2011 campaign.
