Lore & Background

The current Red Bull team traces its origins back to the Stewart Grand Prix outfit that made its debut in 1997. Jackie Stewart sold his team to the Ford Motor Company late in 1999 who rebranded the team Jaguar Racing. It had little success over the next five years. Jaguar Racing was put up for sale in September 2004 when Ford decided it could 'no longer make a compelling business case for any of its brands to compete in Formula One.' Red Bull agreed its purchase of Jaguar Racing on 15 November 2004. The team continued to have access to the Cosworth engine developed for their 2005 chassis. Christian Horner was installed as the new team boss. The team operated under a British racing licence from 2005 to 2006. Red Bull had Cosworth engines in 2005 and Ferrari engines in 2006. The team used engines supplied by Renault between 2007 and 2018 (from 2016 to 2018, the Renault engine was re-badged TAG Heuer). During this partnership, they won four successive Drivers' and Constructors' Championship titles in 2010, 2011, 2012, and 2013, led by Red Bull driver Sebastian Vettel. The team began using Honda engines in 2019. The works Honda partnership culminated in 2021, following Red Bull driver Max Verstappen's World Drivers' Championship victory, with Verstappen also winning the championship in 2022, 2023, and 2024. Red Bull also won two Constructors' Championship titles in 2022 and 2023, but lost out in 2021 to Mercedes and in 2024 to McLaren. Honda left the sport officially after 2021 but continued to supply complete engines from Japan to the team partly under Red Bull Powertrains branding until the end of 2025. Following the conclusion of their partnership with Honda, Red Bull switched to Ford engines in 2026 after having signed a deal to use their engines in 2023. Red Bull have a new wind tunnel due to be operational by 2026.

In Their Own Story

When the lights went out in Bahrain, the race had effectively been decided years earlier in the wind tunnel and on the simulator. As Max Verstappen surged from pole position, a heavy, electric silence fell over the Red Bull pit wall—not of tension, but of absolute, unshakeable certainty. It was a season where every lap felt less like a battle and more like a rehearsal for history; the opposition found themselves fighting not just to win, but simply to stay out of the rear-view mirror. By the time the team arrived at Suzuka for their 15th victory, the math had long been done. Red Bull didn't just dominate the calendar; they dismantled the very concept of competition, turning a season of 22 races into a relentless parade of their own making.
