The owner of the team is company founder Dietrich Mateschitz . Red Bull Racing emerged from the British team Jaguar Racing at the end of 2004 . In 2010 , in the sixth year of its existence, the team achieved both world titles for the first time, both the constructors 'world championship and the drivers' world championship by Sebastian Vettel . The team was able to repeat this success in 2011 , 2012 and 2013 . In addition, since the 2011 season the team has held the record of 18 pole positions in 19 races (94.7 percent). Red Bull also owns the Italian Formula 1 racing team Scuderia AlphaTauri (until 2019: Toro Rosso, Italian for “Red Bull”), which emerged from the Minardi team and is considered Red Bull's junior team.

In the 2019 season , Red Bull competed with drivers Max Verstappen and Pierre Gasly , but he was swapped for Alexander Albon over the course of the season . After more than a decade of engine partnership with Renault , this year the team used Honda engines for the first time , which have been used by the sister team Toro Rosso / AlphaTauri since 2018 .

history

Sauber-Ford C14 with Red Bull advertising at the 1995 British GP

Red Bull as sponsor

Red Bull entered Formula 1 in 1995 as a sponsor of the Swiss Sauber team. Red Bull later bought in Sauber and temporarily held the majority of the shares. The racing team registered under the name Red Bull Sauber Petronas at this time . In 2002, Red Bull sold its team shares to the Credit Suisse bank , whereupon the racing team was renamed Sauber Petronas again . For the next three years, however, Red Bull was still the team's secondary sponsor. In 2001 and 2002 , the British Arrows team received additional support, as they provided an emergency vehicle to the young driver Enrique Bernoldi, who is sponsored by Red Bull . In 2004 , Red Bull was also active with the Hangar-7 brand as a sponsor of the Jaguar team, which deployed Red Bull junior Christian Klien .

The support of Sauber ended at the end of the 2004 season, as Red Bull competed with the former Jaguar Racing Team with its own racing team from 2005 .

David Coulthard in the Red Bull RB1 at the 2005 Canadian GP

After the takeover of Jaguar Racing by Red Bull, David Coulthard became the first driver for the 2005 season . This had previously been dismissed from McLaren - Mercedes . The second cockpit should be occupied alternately by Christian Klien and Vitantonio Liuzzi . The engine supplier that season was Cosworth . The team initially drove with a British license. In the first race, Red Bull Racing was able to score points with David Coulthard's fourth place and Christian Klien's seventh place. Both drivers finished in the points in the second race as well. From the fourth race onwards, Vitantonio Liuzzi drove alongside David Coulthard.

On the occasion of the premiere of Star Wars: Episode III , the Red Bull cars drove in the race in Monte Carlo in Star Wars design and the crew was also dressed in Star Wars outfit. In the race, however, for the first time of the season, both drivers had to park their cars early.

From the Canadian Grand Prix , Christian Klien took over the second cockpit for the rest of the season. Liuzzi was able to score one point for the team in four races. Like all other teams with Michelin tires, Red Bull Racing decided not to compete in the US Grand Prix . At this time there were 22 World Championship points to book. In every race except the Monaco GP, at least one car finished in the points.

In the second half of the season, Coulthard and Klien collected another 12 points. However, the drivers crossed the finish line more often outside the points than in the first half of the season. The three drivers had to end a race prematurely nine times.

At the end of the season, Coulthard had 24 championship points and finished 12th in the drivers' championship. Klien scored 9 World Championship points and was 15th. Liuzzi finished 23rd with a World Championship point. The team thus came to 34 points and finished seventh in the constructors' championship with four points behind the BAR - Honda team.

2006

Robert Doornbos in the Red Bull RB2 at the 2006 Brazilian GP

The driver pairing for the 2006 season remained unchanged compared to 2005. However, Christian Klien became a regular driver and no longer had to share the cockpit with a third driver. In addition, the engines were no longer supplied by Cosworth, but by Ferrari .

The greatest success of the season was David Coulthard's third place at the Monaco Grand Prix. On the occasion of the premiere of the film Superman Returns , the team drove with specially painted vehicles and the team members were dressed in appropriate outfits. At the awards ceremony, Coulthard wore a red Superman cape.

On September 11, 2006, RBR dismissed Christian Klien because he declined the offer to switch to the American Champ Car series . Test pilot Robert Doornbos took over Klien's cockpit for the last three races.

In total, the drivers had to end 12 races early. David Coulthard collected 14 championship points and was 13th in the drivers' championship. Klien was able to achieve 2 championship points in 15 races and was 18th in the drivers' standings. Doornbos was unable to score any more points for Red Bull, but saw the checkered flag in all three races. The team thus scored 16 points and was again seventh in the constructors' championship.

2007

Mark Webber in the Red Bull RB3 at the 2007 Malaysia GP

The team's second cockpit was awarded for the 2007 season to Mark Webber , whose contract with Williams had expired. The team changed engine suppliers again - from Ferrari to Renault . The estimated annual budget was $ 140 million. From now on the team drove under an Austrian and no longer under a British license.

The team started the 2007 season with Renault engines and a chassis designed by Adrian Newey . David Coulthard scored the first points for the team at the Spanish GP , where he finished fifth. The team now found itself in seventh place in the constructors' championship; one point behind Toyota and Williams.

After another two races, Webber was also able to collect his first points for Red Bull by finishing seventh at the USA GP. The season, which was still unsuccessful at the beginning, found its turning point at the European GP. In the rain race at the Nürburgring, Mark Webber took third place and was thus able to achieve the second podium for the Red Bull team. David Coulthard drove from 20th on the grid to fifth. The ten World Cup points achieved were the best result for the team to date.

In the last seven races of the season a further 8 points were achieved. Nevertheless, Coulthard and Webber had to park their cars early five times.

The failure of Webber at the Japanese Grand Prix was particularly painful for the team . Due to a misunderstanding with Lewis Hamilton during the second safety car phase, Webber braked hard so as not to overtake the slow-moving Hamilton. However, this maneuver was overlooked by Sebastian Vettel , who drove into the rear of the Red Bull. Both drivers had to give up. Webber was in second position at the time and had a good chance of finishing on the podium, as was Vettel, who was third.

At the China GP , Coulthard scored the last point of the season with eighth place. The new high-speed gearbox, which often failed, caused problems in particular. Thus, 24 points were scored in the 2007 season and the team climbed - aided by the disqualification of the McLaren team - to fifth place in the constructors' championship.

2008

Mark Webber in the Red Bull RB4 at the 2008 French GP

In the 2008 season , David Coulthard and Mark Webber appeared again for the team, whose contracts had already been extended in the summer of the previous season. Their vehicles continued to be powered by Renault engines. The new car, called the RB4 , was unveiled on January 16, 2008 during test drives in Jerez , Spain. A striking wing construction on the engine cover, reminiscent of a shark's fin, caused a stir. This novel design was later adopted by several other teams.

After seven races, the team had scored 21 championship points. David Coulthard was able to achieve a podium finish for Red Bull in third place at the Canadian GP after failing to score in the first few races. After five places in a row, team-mate Webber had already scored more points than in the entire previous season and at the same time had his best start to the season since 2005 with Williams-BMW. The team was now in fourth place in the constructors' championship, which was also due to the reliability of the RB4 until then. After Mark Webber finished sixth at the French GP, there were four races without points, before Mark Webber, who was punished by a competitor, scored a point at the Belgian Grand Prix. However, since David Coulthard has not been able to achieve any further points since his podium placement in Canada and Webber was also unsuccessful, the team fell back to sixth position of the constructors. At the Italian Grand Prix, Webber picked up another point after starting from third. This was followed with a seventh place by Coulthard and an eighth place by Webber, the last finishings in the points. The team was thus in the final accounts behind the sister team Toro Rosso in seventh place in the constructors' championship.

2009

Sebastian Vettel in the Red Bull RB5 at the 2009 German GP

For the 2009 season , in addition to Mark Webber, instead of David Coulthard, who had announced his resignation the previous year, the German Sebastian Vettel , who had denied the previous season in the sister team Toro Rosso, committed. At the Chinese Grand Prix , Vettel took the first pole position in the history of the racing team and clinched the first victory for Red Bull Racing, which became a one-two thanks to Mark Webber's second place. The organizer made a faux pas at the award ceremony in which the British anthem was played for the winning team instead of the Austrian one, although RBR has been competing with an Austrian license since 2006. At the Spanish Grand Prix, New Zealander Brendon Hartley replaced Coulthard as the official replacement driver after receiving his super license . At the Turkish Grand Prix , Vettel achieved the team's second pole position. Vettel also reached pole position at the British Grand Prix , a day later the German won the race and Webber secured another double victory for Red Bull with second place. At the German Grand Prix, where Webber took first pole position and the first win of his career, Jaime Alguersuari was a substitute driver for the team.

2010

Mark Webber in the Red Bull RB6 at the 2010 Canadian GP

In the 2010 season , Red Bull Racing stuck to its existing driver duo Vettel and Webber. In January, the team also named the replacement and test pilots for the new season. Brendon Hartley, who had partly already carried out this task last year, and Daniel Ricciardo , reigning champion of the British Formula 3 Championship , took turns as reserve drivers from race to race. In addition, both took this position with the sister team Toro Rosso.

In each of the first seven qualifications of the season, Red Bull reached pole position, with second starting position three times. The races also showed that Red Bull was competitive. In Bahrain , Vettel was initially in the lead, but a defective spark plug robbed him of his chances of victory. In Australia , back in the lead, he slipped into the gravel trap due to a problem with the wheel nut on the front left wheel and had to give up the race. In Malaysia , Red Bull celebrated a one-two with Vettel ahead of Webber. In China there was again a one-two lead in the qualification, in the race an unfavorable strategy when switching back and forth between slicks and intermediates only led to sixth place with Vettel and eighth place with Webber. In Spain , Red Bull dominated qualifying. Webber in first place and Vettel in second position were 0.8 and 0.7 seconds ahead of third-placed Lewis Hamilton . Webber won the race, while Vettel took third place despite braking problems. Red Bull celebrated another double victory in Monaco . This time Webber won ahead of Vettel, and for the first time in the team's history, Webber, a Red Bull driver, took the lead in the drivers' world championship. In Turkey , Vettel retired after a collision with his teammate, Webber fell from first place to third place in the race, but retained the lead in the world championship.

The race in Canada was chaotic, and for the first time in the 2010 season, it was not a Red Bull that was in pole position, but the McLaren from Hamilton, who was able to use the long straights to his advantage. Vettel and Webber finished fourth and fifth respectively after a chaotic race, Webber had to hand over the championship lead to Hamilton.

At the European Grand Prix in Valencia , Vettel was on pole position ahead of Webber. However, the Australian got off to a bad start and dropped from second to twenty after a bad pit stop. When he the Lotus of Heikki Kovalainen tried to overtake, he overestimated the braking point of the other, went and took off into the air. However, he was not injured and climbed out of the rest of his car on his own. His team-mate Vettel celebrated a sure win.

At Silverstone there was an internal team dispute because Vettel got the last remaining front wing and Webber refused to accept this and felt that he was being treated unfairly. At the start of the British Grand Prix , Webber passed Vettel and left him no room to defend himself against Hamilton. This touched him with the front wing, which slit open the rear tire. Vettel fell back to the last place. Webber took a win for Red Bull and Vettel was seventh after a race to catch up.

In qualifying for the German Grand Prix at the Hockenheimring , Vettel was able to secure pole position with two thousandths of a second ahead of Alonso. However, he lost the race at the start because he had a problem with the transmission. He finished third while Webber drove an unspectacular race and finished sixth. The race was overshadowed by an apparently executed stable order from Ferrari. The FIA ​​fined the team a hundred thousand dollars.

In Hungary , Vettel initially dominated the race until the safety car drove onto the track and Vettel left too much distance to his front man Webber after his pit stop. As a result, Vettel received a drive-through penalty, which caused him to drop to third place behind Alonso and Webber. Webber won the race ahead of Alonso and Vettel, who set the fastest race lap, and overtook Hamilton in the drivers' championship.

This was followed by the Belgian Grand Prix with second place for Webber and 15th place for Vettel as well as Italy with fourth place for Vettel and sixth place for Webber, who had lost the lead to Hamilton for a race. At the Singapore Grand Prix both drivers finished on the podium again. Vettel came second, Webber third. In Japan , Red Bull and Vettel scored their third one-two of the season ahead of Webber.

After a double loss at the Korean Grand Prix , which Alonso won, replacing Webber as the leader of the world championship standings, discussions began as to whether a stall order would not be expedient for the last two races to get the better placed Webber past Alonso again, but what Red Bull was always strictly rejected, especially since Vettel still had a mathematical chance.

One race before the end of the season, at the Brazilian Grand Prix , Red Bull-Renault secured the constructors' world championship early with the fourth double victory of the season, in which Vettel crossed the finish line for the third time ahead of Webber. It was the first title win in the team's history. With a victory in the final race in Abu Dhabi , Vettel was able to secure victory in the 2010 drivers 'championship, as Alonso, who had previously been the leader in the drivers' championship, only finished seventh due to a poor pit stop strategy by Ferrari. Team mate Webber finished the race in eighth place and the drivers' standings in third place behind Alonso.

2011

Sebastian Vettel in the Red Bull RB7 at the 2011 Malaysian Grand Prix

With the driver duo Vettel and Webber, Red Bull contested the 2011 season with the RB7 . Ricciardo remained a test and reserve driver and came to racing at HRT during the season .

The Red Bull team dominated the season. In total, the two drivers achieved 18 pole positions, twelve wins and 27 podium positions. While Vettel was the leader of the drivers 'championship after every race, Red Bull led the constructors' championship throughout. Both Vettel and Red Bull won their world championship prematurely. Webber won the DHL Fastest Lap Award with six fastest laps .

In December 2011, the team announced its withdrawal from the Formula One Teams Association .

2012

Sebastian Vettel in the Red Bull RB8 at the 2012 British Grand Prix

In 2012 , Red Bull retained the Vettel-Webber driver pairing. Webber received a one-year contract that was extended at the end of the season for the coming year. The team used the Red Bull RB8 , which in turn had been designed under the direction of Adrian Newey.

There were seven different winners in the first seven races of the season. Until the Italian Grand Prix in September 2012, Vettel only won one race, namely the Bahrain Grand Prix . During this time he was up to 40 points behind Ferrari driver Fernando Alonso in the interim ranking of the drivers' world championship . Then began a winning streak. Starting with the Singapore Grand Prix , Vettel won four races in a row. After the Korean Grand Prix , Vettel took the lead in the drivers' world championship. Before the last race of the year in Brazil, he was 13 points ahead of Alonso; both drivers were able to win the world championship in this race. In what Niki Lauda thought was the most exciting race he had ever seen, Vettel prevailed against Alonso. He won the third world championship in a row and became the youngest three-time world champion in Formula 1 history. At the Autódromo José Carlos Pace , Vettel qualified for fourth place, Alonso for eighth place. After falling back to last place in the race as a result of a collision with Williams driver Bruno Senna , Vettel finally crossed the finish line in sixth, while Alonso was second. Vettel's lead over Alonso was three points in the overall standings. After the race, controversy arose over an overtaking maneuver by Vettel, who was accused of having passed Jean-Éric Vergne under a yellow flag . There followed speculations about a loss of the world title. However, on November 29, 2012, the FIA ​​confirmed that the overtaking process was in compliance with the rules.

Mark Webber won two races, finishing second and third each time. He finished the 2012 Drivers' Championship in sixth place. Red Bull won the constructors' championship in 2012 with 460 points. The lead over the second-placed Scuderia Ferrari was 60 points.

2013

Much criticized maneuver: Vettel overtakes Webber at the 2013 Malaysian Grand Prix, Red Bull RB9

In the 2013 Formula 1 World Championship , the team will go under the name Infiniti Red Bull Racing. The title sponsor of the racing team is the Japanese automobile brand Infiniti , which is part of the Renault-Nissan alliance . The emergency vehicle is the Red Bull RB9 , the engine continues to be supplied by Renault. The drivers are Sebastian Vettel and Mark Webber for the fifth time in a row.

Vettel won three of the first seven races of the year, after the Canadian Grand Prix he is in first place in the interim ranking with 132 points ahead of Fernando Alonso.

At the Malaysian Grand Prix there was an incident between Vettel and Webber. In the 44th of 56 laps, Webber was one place ahead of Vettel after a pit stop. In this late phase of the race, the team management decided to hold their positions, slow down and drive to the finish without damaging the material. Up to this point there were no team orders to the drivers. While Webber adhered to the specifications of the racing team, Vettel initially disregarded the instruction and put Webber under pressure. On the 46th lap, Vettel, who took advantage of a narrow gap between the pit wall and Webber's driving line, prevailed against his team-mate and pulled out a lead on Webber. Vettel was immediately criticized on the pit radio for his overtaking maneuver by team boss Christian Horner, who described the action as "stupid". The process led to a rift between the two Red Bull drivers. After the summer break, Vettel won all of the following nine races and was Formula 1 world champion for the fourth time. Red Bull also won the constructors' championship early.

2014

Sebastian Vettel in the Red Bull RB10 at the 2014 Chinese Grand Prix

In 2014 Red Bull used Renault's Energy F1 2014 turbo engine . The team was not able to keep up in the fight for the title this year, but the new driver Daniel Ricciardo won three times and the team still came second in the constructors' championship.

2015

Daniel Ricciardo in the Red Bull RB11 at the 2015 Canadian Grand Prix

At the end of the 2014 season, Vettel left the Red Bull team; he switched to Ferrari. His cockpit was taken over by Daniil Kwjat , who drove alongside Daniel Ricciardo in 2015 . In technical terms nothing changed. Red Bull continued the relationship with the engine supplier Renault.

During the 2015 season, Red Bull experienced a crisis. In the first nine races of the year, no driver was able to occupy a podium position. The best result of the first half of the season was Kvyat fourth place in Monaco . Red Bull fell behind Ferrari and Williams in the constructors' championship, and at times also behind Force India. At the Hungarian Grand Prix , both Red Bull drivers stood on the podium for the first time this season: Kwjat was second here, Ricciardo third. At the end of the year, Red Bull finished fourth in the constructors' championship with 187 points.

In the second half of the 2015 season, the future of the racing team was open for several months. Since Red Bull primarily blamed its engine partner Renault for the team's poor performance, the team terminated the engine contract in late summer with effect from the end of the year without having a binding prospect of a replacement engine for 2016. In the months that followed, Red Bull sought out both Mercedes and Ferrari and Honda engines, while Mercedes and Ferrari repeatedly refused to collaborate with Red Bull. Ferrari was not ready to equip Red Bull with engines that are on the same level of development as the works team; On the other hand, Red Bull - unlike the Toro Rosso junior team - did not want to use engines that were as developed as the previous year. Honda stated that it was interested in equipping more than one team in the future; an engine delivery to Red Bull for the 2016 season failed because of a veto by McLaren Racing, which insisted on the exclusivity of the McLaren-Honda relationship. Red Bull had not signed an engine contract for 2016 by the end of November 2015. The situation was made more difficult by the fact that the previous engine manufacturer Renault had not made a decision on whether to continue its Formula 1 involvement or to withdraw completely by November 2015. While Red Bull's development department has been working on chassis structures that could accommodate four different engines for the coming season since autumn, team owner Mateschitz repeatedly presented the exit of Red Bull and Toro Rosso from Formula 1 as a “realistic scenario”. Only at the beginning of December 2015 after Renault had decided to take over the Lotus team as the basis for its own future factory team, Red Bull and Renault agreed on a long-term continuation of the engine partnership. Red Bull will then compete with engines from Renault from 2016, which are known as TAG Heuer .

2016

Daniil Kwjat in the Red Bull RB12 at the 2016 Bahrain Grand Prix

In the 2016 season , the team started with the RB12 , which was again developed under the direction of Adrian Newey. The drive technology came from Renault. Red Bull started the first four races of the year with Daniel Ricciardo and Daniil Kwjat as regular drivers. Ricciardo finished the first three races of the season in fourth place. Kwjat could not take part in the opening race in Australia due to technical problems: At the end of the introductory lap, Kwjat stopped on the start-finish straight, the start was canceled and a second introductory lap drove. Kvyat's car was pushed into the pit lane, but the team was unable to get the vehicle back on track. In China , he finished third, the best result of his team so far this year. At the Russian Grand Prix , Kwjat caused a collision with Sebastian Vettel on the first lap, who then retired. Since Kwjat and Vettel had already come into contact repeatedly in previous races, the team management decided to sanction Kwjat after the race in Sochi : With effect from the subsequent race in Spain , Kwjat was transferred to Red Bull's sister team Toro Rosso, during the previous one Toro Rosso driver Max Verstappen Kwjat took place at Red Bull. In Spain, Verstappen scored his first Formula 1 victory in his first race for Red Bull, which also meant the team's first win of the season. With this victory, Verstappen also became the youngest Formula 1 winner to date at the age of 18 and 228 days. Also in the further course of the season one could achieve regular podium placements. In Malaysia , Red Bull achieved another victory through Ricciardo, which even became a one-two for the team with Verstappen's second place. With a total of 468 points, they finished second in the constructors' championship at the end of the season.

2017

Max Verstappen at the 2017 Malaysian Grand Prix

In the 2017 season , Red Bull again competed with Daniel Ricciardo and Max Verstappen. The emergency vehicle was the Red Bull RB13 , which in turn was powered by a Renault engine known as TAG Heuer. That year, sister team Toro Rosso also returned to Renault engines. During the season there were various problems with the Renault engine. The team complained about a performance deficit compared to the engines from Mercedes and Ferrari. In addition, there were reliability problems that were particularly noticeable with Verstappen. Verstappen failed four times due to defects in the engine and the electrical system. In addition, he was involved in accidents three times on the first lap of the race, due to which he was canceled. During the season, Verstappen won two races - the Malaysian and Mexican Grand Prix - and, by the way, came in second and third. Ricciardo scored only one win in Azerbaijan , but finished third seven times and finished the season with 200 points in fifth place in the drivers' standings. Verstappen finished sixth with 168 points. In the constructors' championship, Red Bull fell back to third behind Ferrari.

2018

Daniel Ricciardo at the Austrian Grand Prix 2018

In 2018 Red Bull started again with Ricciardo and Verstappen. The emergency vehicle was the RB14 , which, as in previous years, is powered by a Renault engine. The sister team Toro Rosso, however, used a Honda engine exclusively this season . With four wins (two from each driver) and 419 points, the team finished third in the constructors' championship, as in the previous year. In the drivers' championship, Verstappen was fourth and Ricciardo sixth.

2019

For the 2019 season, Red Bull Racing switched to engines from Honda after a longstanding partnership with Renault. Daniel Ricciardo left the team at the end of the 2018 season and will drive for Renault in the future. As a replacement, Pierre Gasly was committed from the sister team Toro Rosso. At the Austrian Grand Prix , Max Verstappen achieved his first victory with the new Honda engine. He also won in Germany and Brazil . At the Belgian Grand Prix, the driver line-up was swapped with Scuderia Toro Rosso, with Alexander Albon taking over the cockpit from Gasly, who switched back to Toro Rosso. With three wins by Verstappen and 417 points, the team finished third in the constructors' championship, as in the last two years. In the drivers' standings, Verstappen was third and Albon eighth. Gasly finished the season seventh after joining Toro Rosso.

2020

In 2020 , Verstappen and Albon will continue to form the Red Bull driver duo. After the start of the season was delayed by almost four months due to the COVID-19 pandemic , the team initially had no points at the start in Austria . A week later, Verstappen finished third in another race at the Red Bull Ring , this time for the first time as the Grand Prix of Styria . Alexander Albon equalized his best result in Formula 1 and finished fourth , as in Japan last year . In the following races in Hungary and Great Britain , Verstappen came second. He won the Grand Prix of the 70th anniversary . This was followed by another second place in Verstappen in Spain . After the sixth race, Red Bull is currently in second place in the constructors' championship with 135 points.
