Oracle Red Bull Racing have been bringing their undeniable passion for racing, technical innovation and winning to the F1 grid ever since coming into existence in 2004.
Since their F1 journey began, the Milton Keynes-based team have claimed multiple Drivers' and Constructors' World Championships, earned more than 100 Grand Prix victories and become synonymous with innovation, speed and a determination to challenge convention.
Today, Oracle Red Bull Racing compete with four-time World Champion Max Verstappen and French driver Isack Hadjar, under the leadership of CEO and Team Principal Laurent Mekies.
The early years
What began as an ambitious project quickly evolved into a championship-winning force.
The team's first podium arrived at the 2006 Monaco Grand Prix, while their maiden victory came at the 2009 Chinese Grand Prix, where Sebastian Vettel led team-mate Mark Webber home in a memorable one-two finish.
That breakthrough season marked the start of a remarkable rise to the front of the grid.
Championship success
Red Bull Racing secured its first Drivers' and Constructors' World Championships in 2010, with Sebastian Vettel becoming the youngest World Champion in Formula One history at just 23 years old.
The team then went on to dominate proceedings between 2010 and 2013, winning four consecutive Drivers' and Constructors' titles.
A second golden era followed with Verstappen, who helped return the team to the top of Formula One in 2021. In 2022 the team partnered with US technology giants Oracle and celebrated a new era of dominance as the Dutchman stormed to his second, third and fourth championship wins in consecutive seasons, with the team finishing as Constructors' Champions in 2022 and 2023.
The drivers
Max Verstappen
Max Verstappen remains the cornerstone of Oracle Red Bull Racing. Renowned for his speed, consistency and racecraft, he has become one of the most successful drivers in Formula One history and continues to lead the team's pursuit of further success.
Isack Hadjar
A product of the Red Bull Junior Team, Isack Hadjar graduated to Oracle Red Bull Racing following the conclusion of the 2025 season after impressing in his rookie season at Visa Cash App Racing Bulls and throughout his rise through the junior categories. His promotion continues the team's long-standing commitment to developing young talent and creating pathways to the pinnacle of motorsports.
Leadership and innovation
CEO and Team Principal Laurent Mekies leads Oracle Red Bull Racing into Formula One's latest chapter.
Supported by hundreds of engineers, designers, mechanics and specialists, the team continues to push the boundaries of performance both on and off the track.
Innovation remains central to Red Bull Racing's identity, from championship-winning car design to the development of Red Bull Ford Powertrains.
Moving forwards in Formula One's new era
The start of the 2026 season marked the beginning of a new chapter for Formula One, with revised technical regulations creating fresh challenges and opportunities across the grid.
For Oracle Red Bull Racing, the objective remains unchanged: to compete for victories, challenge for championships and continue building on a legacy that has helped redefine modern Formula One.
