Red Bull Racing was born when the Austrian energy-drink company bought struggling team Jaguar at the end of 2004. Within a decade they were unbeatable.

The team’s golden eras came through two driver-and-designer partnerships: Sebastian Vettel and Adrian Newey through 2010–2013 (four straight titles), then Max Verstappen and Newey from 2021 onward. Their “RB”-numbered chassis are widely considered the best-engineered cars on the grid.

If you’ve watched any race recently, you’ve watched Red Bull dominate.
