Team Red Bull Racing

History in F1

Team Red Bull Racing debuted at the 2005 Austrian Grand Prix, by acquiring Jaguar Racing. Red Bull is an Austrian energy drinks company and it actually sponsors two F1 companies, the other team being Scuderia Toro Rosso. Team Red Bull has a good track record since it began in 2005, ranking 7th three times, 5th once and 2nd in 2009. With a good engine and chassis and with two veteran drivers, Team Red Bull is probably the most stable F1 team in the line-up. This season may be the season for Red Bull to pull off a Constructors' and/or a Drivers' Championship win.

Despite Red Bull's commitment to F1 racing and large investment, it has yet to win a Drivers' or Constructors' Championship. It came close in the 2009 season, coming in second place in the Constructors' Championship, with 153.5 points.

Technical Details and Statistics
Team Red Bull began with the Cosworth engine, which was the engine Jaguar Racing was using. But in the 2006 season, the team changed to a Ferrari engine, when rule changes allowed the use of a V8 engine. In the 2007 season, Red Bull changed to the Renault engine and the Ferrari engine was moved to Team Scuderia Toro Rosso. Red Bull continues to use the Renault RS27-2010 engine for the 2010 season and its own chassis RB6.
