Red Bull’s history in Formula One goes back almost to the invention of the can itself, with former F1 great Gerhard Berger being the first Red Bull athlete almost two decades ago.

But it has been the success in the past few seasons that has put the UK-based Red Bull Racing team firmly on the F1 map after they became the 2010 Constructors' Championship winner as well as nailing the Drivers' title after an electrifying performance from Sebastian Vettel - who was just 21 at the time.

Both Sebastian Vettel and team mate Mark Webber have scored with metronomic regularity under the leadership of team principal Christian Horner and chief technical officer Adrian Newey. The 2011 season looks just as promising.

Red Bull purchased the assets of Jaguar Racing in November 2004, acquiring the keys to a factory, a core team of staff and the early designs for the car that would become the RB1.

Christian Horner was recruited from the immensely successful Arden F3000 team to become team principal, while David Coulthard was hired to lead the team on the track. In that first season the second car was shared by two Red Bull junior drivers, Austria’s Christian Klien and Italian rookie Vitantonio Liuzzi. The team went on to finish seventh in the Constructors’ Championship.
