2010 Season Overview:

From title challengers in 2009, to double champions a year later, 2010 was an unforgettable season.

Our 19-race path to success began in Bahrain, as it was to continue for much of the season, with a Red Bull on pole, courtesy of Seb. Mechanical troubles meant he had to settle for fourth place, while Mark came in eighth.

In Australia Sebastian was on pole, Mark next to him on the front row, but again, car troubles affected Vettel, who retired, while Webber finished ninth.

We started converting our qualifying potential into podiums in Malaysia, as Seb took the chequered flag, with pole-sitter Mark right behind him, to move the team to third in the championship.

Poles were coming thick and fast with one for Seb in China, and two for Mark in Spain and Monaco. But crucially, we were winning too, with our Aussie driver crossing the line first in Barcelona and Monte Carlo. Mark's Monaco drive, which secured a Red Bull Racing 1-2, was a masterclass in speed, control and concentration. It also meant he led the drivers' championship, ahead of Sebastian, with the team on top of the constructors' table. Our drivers' post-race celebrations saw them cool off with a dive off the Energy Station into the marina.

Things didn't go to plan in Turkey, though, with Sebastian and Mark colliding, putting Vettel out, and meaning Webber had to settle with third.

After a fourth for Seb and a fifth place for Mark in Montreal, a circuit that didn't suit the RB6, we travelled to Valencia. Mark walked away from an horrific crash, in which his car somersaulted before crashing into a tyre wall. Sebastian took the chequered flag, but by now we were sitting behind McLaren in the constructors' championship.

Silverstone saw another memorable win for Mark, while Seb pushed from 24th to finish seventh and score points which were to prove crucial come the end of the season.

A third and sixth for Seb and Mark, respectively, in Germany kept us in the titles hunt, while our 100th grand prix in Hungary was marked by Mark's fourth victory of the year, to put him top of the drivers' table.

He dropped to second behind Lewis Hamilton after Spa as he followed the Brit home over the line in Belgium, keeping us as the top constructor by a single point – a lead we went to hold on to for the rest of the season.

Mark regained first place in the table with a sixth at Monza, a third in Singapore and a runners-up spot in Japan – Seb taking victory in Suzuka.

Korea gave us our only double DNF of 2010, with Seb's engine trouble on lap 45 and Mark having an accident during lap 18.

After Korea things got very interesting. In Brazil we secured our fourth one-two of the year to be crowned Constructors' Champions in only our sixth season. Seb was victorious, Mark was second and the whole team did a caipirinha-fuelled samba that evening.

The final race set up a four-way battle for the drivers' title between Alonso, Webber, Vettel and Hamilton. Most people thought it was going to be between the first two...

In Abu Dhabi, Ferrari decided to mark Mark, Seb lead from lights to flag and was crowned the youngest-ever Formula One world champion.

Over the season Sebastian won five races to Mark's four, 10 poles to his team-mate's five, with both racking up three fastest laps between them.

Although we've never needed a reason to party, 2010 saw plenty of celebration Champagne consumed by the team. As ever, we were also joined by some pretty high profile visitors as we maintained our reputation as the team of choice for the world's celebs.

None other than John Travolta created one of the biggest media and security scrums in Melbourne as he flew in then had his picture taken with our drivers, principal and crew. Others seen in our Paddock hospitality areas over the season included the likes of Paris Hilton, England cricketing legend Freddie Flintoff, Chelsea's Michael Essien and band-of-the-moment Kasabian.

2009 Season Overview

After four seasons of taking steps to establish ourselves in Formula One, our fifth saw us make the giant leap to become a major player.

Our RB5 car was quick, very quick, and we had F1's brightest young talent on board to complement the experienced Mark Webber. Aged just 21, Sebastian Vettel joined us from sister team Toro Rosso with a big reputation. The year before he had become the youngest driver to win a Formula One race and finished eighth in the Drivers' Championship.

His start to life with Red Bull was pretty astonishing, qualifying third in his first race for us in Australia, then spending much of the race in second, before a clash with Kubica ended both drivers' afternoons. He qualified in third again in the following race in Malaysia, but a 10-place grid penalty put him down to 13th, with the German spinning out of the race. Mark meanwhile picked up our first points in Sepang, finishing sixth.

But it was in the third race of 2009 in Shanghai when we recorded both first pole and win. With Sebastian starting in P1 and Mark in third, our drivers showed tenacity in testing, wet conditions to bring home a Red Bull Racing 1-2, with Vettel taking victory, and Mark the best result of his career up to that point.

While Jenson Button in the Brawn was setting the early-season pace with six wins from seven, we were very much challengers in both championships.

In Bahrain Seb finished second, at the Spanish Grand Prix Webber and Vettel finished third and fourth respectively, before going one better In Turkey, with Mark in second and Sebastian third.

Silverstone in June saw us record our second GP victory for pole-sitter Seb, with Mark crossing the line second. We closed the gap on Brawn to 19.5 points in the Constructors' Championship with our third 1-2 finish in the next race in Germany, which saw Mark claim his maiden F1 victory. The podiums were coming thick and fast, and Mark got another in the Hungarian race, where he finished third. This was matched by Seb three races later in Belgium.

While Brawn's lead at the top of the constructors' table and Button's in the Drivers' Championship were almost sewn up, Mark and Seb didn't let up and won the final three races between them.

Sebastian kept his feint hopes of winning the drivers' crown alive by dominating the Japanese GP from start to finish. But, while Mark's second victory in Brazil was a day to savour, it was also the weekend when Button and Brawn were confirmed as the season's top dogs.

The final race of the season saw Sebastian led Mark home in Abu Dhabi to notch up our fourth 1-2 finish of the year.

The result saw Vettel finish second in the Drivers' Championship with 84 points, just 11 behind Button. Mark ended the season in a career-best fourth with 69.5 points.

The team finished second in the Constructors' Championship with 153.5 points, 18.5 points behind Brawn.

While we were runners-up on the track, off it we were still rocking. We rubbed shoulders with royalty in Monaco, when Britain's Princess Beatrice chose the Energy Station as her preferred party place of choice. Rock royalty ZZ Top popped in for a chat with Sebastian in the garage in Singapore and back to Monaco, the guestlist was a right A-list affair, with George Lucas, Boris Becker, James Blunt and even Brawn sponsor Sir Richard Branson choosing the Energy Station as a base. But, perhaps the most typical Red Bull moment of all was Adrian Newey celebrating our Silverstone win by destroying Christian Horner's lawn courtesy of a series of donuts.

2008 Season Overview

During testing of the RB4 in Jerez in January, Christian Horner declared he was confident 2008 would be a progressive season for us.

After the huge learning curve of our first three years in F1, our Team Principal felt things were becoming progressively more settled behind the scenes.

He said: "This year is the first in the team's history that we have continuity in all key elements: staff, drivers and engine partner. We go into this season on the back of a year in which our performance improved and there is a real sense that we are operating efficiently as a team, having come a long way since 2005."

Car reliability issues appeared to be in the past, as we went a full eight races with just one retirement, for DC in Monaco.

In fact, after Oz, Mark went on an incredible run of form, scoring in five successive races: finishing seventh in Malaysia, Bahrain and Turkey, fifth in Spain and fourth on the streets of Monte Carlo. In the same period, David completed four of those races, and narrowly missed out on points in two.

Montreal in early June saw our Flying Scotsman finish third – the team's third podium to date and David's second for Red Bull Racing. A race later, in France, and Mark scored again, finishing sixth. This glut of points meant we went into the season's halfway mark race at Silverstone with 24 to our name – the same number we had achieved in the whole of 2007 – putting us in the thick of a battle for fourth with more established manufacturer teams Toyota and Renault.

But, it was from Silverstone onwards, that our season started to dip, as we took just five points from the final 10 races.

The British GP was an emotional affair, as DC chose the race weekend to announce his retirement from racing at the end of the season. He wanted to quit while still being competitive. Frustratingly, for David and the thousands of Brits at Silverstone, his final home race was cut short on Lap 1.

Mark's weekend was to also end in disappointment, after starting so well, when he became the first Red Bull Racing driver to qualify on the front row of the grid. Starting the race in second, he soon found himself at the back of the pack, after spinning in the wet before the end of Lap 1. He eventually finished 10th.

David ended his final season in F1 with a seventh-spot in Singapore, a tenth in China and two DNFs to his name, including his final Formula One race in Brazil.

His last grand prix was memorable for several reasons. Generous to the end, DC's last car sported a Wings For Life livery (thanks to special dispensation and agreement from the other drivers and teams) and he wore special overalls to match to promote the spinal cord research foundation. His contribution to the sport was recognised that weekend and goodwill came from all corners… apart sadly from the first couple in the race where a collision ended his afternoon slightly earlier than hoped.

Mark, meanwhile, brought home points in Belgium, Italy and Japan, meaning he had scored in exactly half of the races that season.

We ended the campaign with our second-highest tally of 29 points, and, for the third time in four years, we were seventh in the Constructors' Championship.

The car's much-improved reliability meant optimism in the camp was high for the following season. The signing of Toro Rosso driver Vettel also whetted the appetite for 2009, after Sebastian had accumulated 35 driver points in 2008, including a grand prix pole and a win - the youngest man to do so.

2007 Photos

After an amazing debut season, then a campaign of consolidation, we were determined 2007 would be the year we really pushed on in Formula One.

The RB3 was an Adrian Newey-designed car, we had a new engine supplier Renault and we had a brand new driver alongside David Coulthard.

Former Minardi, Jaguar and Williams man Mark Webber (30) came to us with five seasons of F1 behind him. Together with DC, who by now had been racing for 12 years, we had some wise heads at the wheel. On signing, Mark summed up things pretty well: "It's clear that the team is very hungry for long-term success, it has a very talented group of personnel and there seems to be a real sense of team spirit and unity."

We were quietly confident we could build on our single podium of 2006.

As ever, we started the season in style, with pop royalty Kylie Minogue joining Mark on the grid for his home race in Melbourne, a weekend which saw the Aussies turn out in force to support Webber with some fetching facemasks of their countryman.

On the track, things didn't start too well with three DNFs after five races, however our first points came at the Circuit de Catalunya when DC guided his car home in fifth, despite losing third gear during the race. But gearbox problems and a shunt from Ralf Schumacher forced two more retirements from DC in the two North American races. But in the United States Mark picked up his first points of the campaign with a top-seven finish.

Both worthy, interactive and down right cool, our Faces for Charity concept saw fans donate £10 to Wings For Life in return for having their photo included on the cars' livery for the British Grand Prix. Thousands responded and thousands of faces, pets and baby scans were applied to the RB3s to help the spinal cord research foundation.

A race later and we were celebrating a 10-point haul and our second podium at the European Grand Prix in Germany. Mark's third place was backed up by DC in fifth – a storming result which took us up to sixth in the Constructors' rankings above Toyota. The weekend in Nurburg also saw us maintain our position as the A-list stars' team of choice, with film-making superstar Quentin Tarantino enjoying some Red Bull VIP treatment.

Three pointless races then passed, before three successive scoring ones with Mark's seventh in Belgium, DC's highest finish of the season (fourth) in Japan and an eighth-place for the Scot in China.

But again, DNFs had a pesky habit of rearing their heads, with four for Mark and two for David in the final nine races of 2007. Of those, four were mechanical and two collisions.

Despite the set-backs, things looked very healthy in the final Constructors' table with a top five finish for the first time in the team's history – a great achievement and a fabulous excuse to celebrate with the Gorillaz sound system at the season closer event in Sao Paulo.

2006 Season Overview

Much like a band's ‘difficult' second album, our second season in Formula One presented us with some real challenges. It promised much, delivered some memorable highs, but ultimately left us with room for improvement.

Expectations were high after we landed the designer with the golden touch, Chief Technical Officer Adrian Newey, who had six Constructors' Championship titles on his CV. But our new designer started working for us in February, too late to have a hand in the design of our RB2, which had made its testing debut two months earlier at Silverstone.

The car had some reliability issues, plus we had the new challenge of working with a new engine partner as the RB2 was powered by Ferrari.

With seven retirements between them in the first seven races, the team had a frustrating time of things, gaining just two points from six races.

But that all changed, for DC at least, on May 28 around the Monte Carlo street circuit, when the Scot secured our first podium. Starting seventh on the grid, David battled up to fourth and used all of his experience in the final six laps to guide the car home in third.

It was a great race, giving the team another great reason to party – in a weekend when actor Kevin Spacey, one of the stars of the latest Superman movie, joined us for our Hollywood tie-in on board the Energy Station. Before the race, our team boss Christian Horner said if we secured a podium he'd jump into our Energy Station swimming pool. Naked. A man of his word, he did just that, wearing only a Superman cape. David also became the only F1 driver to wear a superhero's cape on a podium – but not before asking Prince Albert for his royal seal of approval first.

While we never matched the Monaco result for the rest of 2006, David gave one of the performances of the year in Montreal. Starting at the back of the grid due to an engine change penalty, he overtook Jenson Button on the final lap to score a well-deserved point.

In the second half of the season, a fifth-place in Hungary was as good as it got for David, who ended the campaign on 14 points, putting him 13th in the drivers' standings.

Klien, meanwhile, ended up 18th collecting two points. Robert Doornbos then took the team's second seat for the final three races. The Dutchman entered in style by qualifying in the top 10 for his first race in China. But contact with Robert Kubica at the first corner meant he had to settle for 12th.

Despite some mixed fortunes on track, we matched our 2005 placing of seventh in the Constructors' Championship, with 16 points – five points clear of the far more established Williams team.

Back home, we had a new wind tunnel to play with in Bedford, and our Human Resources department had been busy finalising the paperwork to secure Williams' Australian driver Mark Webber for the 2007 season – with the deal announced in August.

2006 was also memorable for our off-track events, including the Bahrain launch where we welcomed our sister team Scuderia Toro Rosso in style, and our epic end-of-season celebrations in Brazil with DJ legend Seb Fontaine on the decks.

2005 Season Overview:

March 6, 2005 was an important date for Red Bull Racing – it was the day we made our grand prix debut in Melbourne, Australia – just four months after our creation.

We've always said that Red Bull Gives You Wings, but many pundits didn't give us F1 fledglings much of a chance in our maiden flight. But, from that very first race Down Under, it was clear the team from Austria - via Milton Keynes – wasn't there to just make up the numbers. On or off track.

We made the rather shrewd move of signing of ex-McLaren man David Coulthard as our main driver, while (the slightly younger) Christian Klien and Vitantonio Liuzzi shared second car duties.

In a stunning debut, David just missed out on a podium appearance, finishing fourth with Klien crossing the line in seventh. A fortnight later and we had amassed more points (11) than the Jaguar team had picked up for the whole of 2004 (10), thanks to David's sixth and Klien's eight-placed finish in Malaysia. We continued to score in successive races with Coulthard bringing home points in Bahrain and Spain, and Liuzzi in between in San Marino.

While our assured start on the track had been turning a few heads, away from it, nobody could keep their eyes off us. Company founder, Dietrich Mateschitz, was determined to inject some Red Bull spirit into a sport which could have been accused of taking itself too seriously: P!nk got the party started for us in Melbourne and we rounded off our maiden season in China in a bamboo nightclub on the banks of the River Bund which we had built especially for the occasion.

Paddock pulses, not just cars, were also racing thanks to our Formula Una ladies gracing each grand prix, while our guerrilla journalists produced the tongue-in-cheek Red Bulletin four times every race weekend. Not always to universal approval.

In Monte Carlo we teamed up with Star Wars creator George Lucas to promote Revenge of The Sith. With our cars decked out in Star Wars livery, the pit crew dressed as Storm Troopers, Darth Vadar in charge of the lollipop plus Chewbacca making shapes on the dancefloor, we were the talk of the universe.

The Force, however, was not with us on track, with two DNFs to our name.

A race later, Coulthard drove from 12th on the grid to finish 4th at the Nurburgring. He followed that in June with a seventh spot in Canada, with Klien a place behind him, our Austrian driver having taken over from Liuzzi for the rest of the season.

Then came one of the most controversial races in F1 history: just six Bridgestone-tyred cars started the 2005 US Grand Prix – now known as ‘Indygate' – with us being one of seven Michelin-shod constructors to retire following the warm-up lap after the manufacturer advised their tyres were not safe to use for the whole race.

We weren't in the points again until Germany at the back-end of July, which was followed by a double DNF in Hungary, while Coulthard also suffered retirements in Spa and Brazil.

But, off track, our empire was growing, with the announcement in September that we had acquired the Minardi F1 team, later renamed Scuderia Toro Rosso, to reflect its Italian DNA and in November we unveiled Adrian Newey as our Chief Technical Officer for the new year.

Although a podium was to prove elusive, we did secure a top-seven Constructors' finish, earning 34 points in the Drivers' Championship.
