2022 Constructors' World Championship

Lore & Background

The team used Honda engines in 2022, with Max Verstappen winning the Drivers' Championship that year. Red Bull also won the Constructors' Championship in 2022 and 2023, but lost out in 2021 to Mercedes.

In Their Own Story

The air inside the Milton Keynes factory was thick with the scent of carbon fiber and anticipation as the final race weekend approached. On the pit wall, Christian Horner watched the telemetry streams with a calm that belied the tension in the room. The RB18 had been a beast all season, but today it needed to be perfect. As the lights went out at Yas Marina, the roar of the Honda engines echoed off the grandstands. Verstappen carved through the field, his car dancing over the curbs with an agility that no other machine possessed. When the checkered flag finally waved, a collective exhale swept through the team; the years of near-misses had evaporated, replaced by the golden certainty of another world title.
