Since joining Formula 1 in 2005, Red Bull has risen up the rankings, cementing its status at the front of the grid in recent years with a series of impressive outings.
With Christian Horner having managed the team since its formation, Red Bull has secured five Constructors’ Championships and six Drivers’ titles.
Red Bulls first stint at the top of the sport came from 2010-2013, as Sebastian Vettel helped power the team to glory and make it the first Austrian team to win the Constructors’ title.
Horner has now addressed the reaction of the car manufacturers on the grid who are being outperformed by an energy drink company.

“Sometimes it sits a little uncomfortably but it just shows that if you get the right people together, the right tools, the right belief. Anything is possible.
“We’ve done it on the chassis side so we thought why not do it on the engine side as well.”
Red Bull is currently on course to win a second consecutive Constructors’ Championship, continuing its run of success in the new era of regulations.
