Oracle Red Bull Racing

Red Bull Racing was formed in 2005 when energy drink company Red Bull purchased the Jaguar Racing team. Under the technical genius of Adrian Newey, Red Bull became the dominant force in Formula 1. Sebastian Vettel won 4 consecutive Drivers' Championships from 2010 to 2013. Max Verstappen then won 4 consecutive titles from 2021 to 2024, cementing Red Bull's status as the most successful team of the modern era.
