Lore & Background
Red Bull Racing won four successive Drivers' and Constructors' Championship titles in 2010, 2011, 2012, and 2013 with driver Sebastian Vettel, becoming the first Austrian team to win the title. The team used Renault engines from 2007 to 2018 (re-badged TAG Heuer from 2016 to 2018). They began using Honda engines in 2019, and Max Verstappen won the Drivers' Championship in 2021, 2022, and 2023. Red Bull won Constructors' titles in 2022 and 2023, but lost in 2021 to Mercedes. Honda left the sport after 2021 but continues to supply engines under Red Bull Powertrains branding. Red Bull is set to switch to Ford engines in 2026.
In Their Own Story
The rain at Marina Bay had finally ceased, leaving the asphalt glistening under the harsh glare of artificial floodlights. Inside the cockpit, Sebastian Vettel sat in silence, the roar of the crowd muffled by his helmet as he processed what had just happened: twelve straight wins. On the pit wall, the tension that usually defined a race weekend had evaporated, replaced by a quiet, almost eerie confidence. They hadn't just solved the puzzle; they had rewritten the rules while everyone else was still reading the instructions. As Vettel climbed from the cockpit, the RB9 stood pristine, its livery glowing against the night sky—a machine that felt less like a car and more like an eventuality. The calendar ahead seemed to blur: Korea, Japan, India, Brazil. The road stretched out not as a challenge, but as a procession of checkered flags waiting to be claimed. For a fleeting moment in 2013, the future wasn't something Red Bull feared; it was something they had already conquered.
