red bull

Red Bull were no strangers to F1 - as sponsors - prior to formally entering as a works team in 2004. Nonetheless, the scale of their success over the following decade was staggering. After a first podium in 2006, the team hit their stride in 2009, claiming six victories and second in the constructors' standings. Over the next four seasons they were a tour de force, claiming consecutive title doubles between 2010 and 2013, with Sebastian Vettel emerging as the sport's youngest quadruple champion. Now they are recapturing that glory with an equally exciting talent – one named Max Verstappen…

Max Verstappen takes seven wins from first 10 races, but none from next 10 en route to a fourth straight drivers’ crown, with 437 points. Sergio Perez scores just 152 and team drop to third overall behind McLaren and Ferrari, as long-time design chief Adrian Newey signs for Aston Martin.

In the hands of Max Verstappen, the RB19 proves all but invincible, the team winning all but one race en route to a second consecutive championship double. Record-breaking campaign also results in their first-ever one-two finish in driver standings.

After seeing off early Ferrari challenge, dominate to take first title double since 2013, with Max Verstappen securing a record 15 wins to retain drivers’ crown. Only cloud is a $7 million fine and a reduction in future wind-tunnel testing for exceeding the 2021 budget cap.

Secure their first drivers’ championship since 2013, winning 11 of 22 races, and push Mercedes all the way in an intense – and, at times, bitter – constructors’ fight. New team mate Sergio Perez provides invaluable support to Max Verstappen’s successful title bid.
