Red Bull Racing Limited, currently competing as Oracle Red Bull Racing and also known simply as Red Bull or RBR, is a Formula One racing team, competing under an Austrian racing licence and based in England. It is one of two Formula One teams owned by conglomerate Red Bull GmbH, the other being Racing Bulls. The Red Bull Racing team was managed by Christian Horner from its formation in 2005 until 2025, when he departed the team and was replaced by Laurent Mekies.

Red Bull had Cosworth engines in 2005 and Ferrari engines in 2006. The team used engines supplied by Renault between 2007 and 2018 (from 2016 to 2018, the Renault engine was re-badged TAG Heuer following the breakdown in the relationship between Red Bull and Renault in 2015). During this partnership, they won four successive Drivers' and Constructors' Championship titles in 2010, 2011, 2012, and 2013, led by Red Bull driver Sebastian Vettel, and becoming the first Austrian team to win the title.

The team began using Honda engines in 2019. The works Honda partnership culminated in 2021, following Red Bull driver Max Verstappen's World Drivers' Championship victory, with Verstappen also winning the championship in 2022, 2023, and 2024. Red Bull also won two Constructors' Championship titles in 2022 and 2023, but lost out in 2021 to Mercedes and in 2024 to McLaren.

Honda left the sport officially after 2021 but continued to supply complete engines from Japan to the team partly under Red Bull Powertrains branding until the end of 2025. Red Bull have a new wind tunnel due to be operational by 2026.

The current Red Bull team traces its origins back to the Stewart Grand Prix outfit that made its debut in 1997. Jackie Stewart sold his team to the Ford Motor Company late in 1999 who rebranded the team Jaguar Racing. It had little success over the next five years.

Jaguar Racing was put up for sale in September 2004 when Ford decided it could "no longer make a compelling business case for any of its brands to compete in Formula One." Red Bull, an energy drinks company, agreed its purchase of Jaguar Racing on the final day of the sale, 15 November 2004.

 BBC Sport reported that Ford asked bidders for a symbolic US$1 in return for a commitment to invest US$400 million in the team over three Grand Prix seasons.

The team continued to have access to the Cosworth engine developed for their 2005 chassis, and the operation continued under the new title. Christian Horner was installed as the new team boss and lined up David Coulthard and Christian Klien to drive for the team. The team operated under a British racing licence from 2005 to 2006.

For 2005, the chassis was christened the RB1. Red Bull Racing used Cosworth engines in its maiden year due to the ease of continuing with the engine Jaguar Racing used.

2005

The Red Bull RB1 (originally known as Jaguar R6 prior to Red Bull's purchase of Jaguar Racing from Ford) is a Formula One racing car designed by Jaguar Racing for use in the 2005 season. However, with the Red Bull buyout of the Jaguar Racing team, it was used instead by Red Bull Racing.

The chassis was designed by Mark Smith, Rob Taylor and Ben Agathangelou and the car's engine was a Cosworth TJ2005 3.0 litres V10. The RB1 was the technically last-ever car built by Jaguar Racing but rebadged as Red Bull Racing after the energy drinks manufacturer bought the Jaguar Racing team in late 2004.

The RB1's best result was a fourth-place finish on its debut at the 2005 Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne, and at the 2005 European Grand Prix held at the Nürburgring. Both results were achieved by David Coulthard.

The chassis was reused for the Toro Rosso STR1 in 2006.

On 23 April 2005, the team announced a deal to utilise customer Ferrari engines in 2006. This coincided with a rule change mandating the use of V8 engines, making it likely that both Red Bull Racing and Ferrari would use the same specification engine. Red Bull Racing continued to use Michelin tyres, rather than the Bridgestones used by Ferrari.

On 8 November 2005, Red Bull Racing hired Adrian Newey, the highly successful McLaren technical director, as well as Rob Marshall.

On 15 December 2005, the team's second car, the Red Bull RB2, hit the track for the first time.

rb2

2006

The Red Bull RB2 is the car with which the Red Bull Racing team competed in the 2006 Formula One season. The chassis was designed by Mark Smith, Rob Taylor and Ben Agathangelou and the engines were supplied by Ferrari. It was driven by David Coulthard and Christian Klien, who had both driven for the team in its debut year, 2005. However, Klien was replaced after the Italian GP by third driver Robert Doornbos after the Austrian refused the team's offer of a Champ Car seat for 2007 once it became apparent that he was going to be replaced by Mark Webber for the next season.

After the good results of the previous inaugural season, 2006 was a poor season for Red Bull. The year was treated as a consolidation season and proved to be a traditionally tough second year for a new team. The team eventually finished seventh in the Constructors' Championship, with 16 points.

rb3

2007

The Red Bull Racing RB3 is a Formula One racing car produced by Red Bull Racing for the 2007 season. It was the team's first Adrian Newey-designed car and used customer Renault RS27 engines, after the team's contract with Ferrari was transferred to the Toro Rosso team.

This was the first non-Enstone based Formula One car to utilize full works Renault engines since the Williams FW19 in 1997.

Controversy surrounded the Red Bull and Toro Rosso teams during the 2007 launch season as a row over customer cars erupted. Both Williams and Spyker claimed that the cars of the two teams were identical, having been designed by Red Bull Technology, a third-party subsidiary of the Red Bull parent company. Thus, the teams themselves did not design their respective cars themselves, which Williams and Spyker believed was a breach of F1's Concorde Agreement. The FIA however declared that the cars were legal for 2007.

Comments made throughout the season stated clearly that the car had much potential but still had reliability issues which were at the expense of championship points.

rb6

2010

The Red Bull RB6 is a Formula One motor racing car designed by Red Bull Racing for the 2010 campaign. It was driven by 2010 World Champion Sebastian Vettel and Mark Webber and was launched on February 10 at Jerez.

The car claimed the first of four consecutive World Constructors' Championships for Red Bull Racing, and in the hands of Sebastian Vettel, took the first World Drivers' Championship of his career at the last round of the season. In qualifying, the RB6 was a consistent pace setter, setting the fastest time in 15 out of the 19 rounds. Red Bull's chief technical officer Adrian Newey later went on to claim that the car was "probably the car with the most downforce in the history of F1".

The Red Bull RB6 was the last customer-engined Formula One car to win the constructors' title, due to a presence of Renault full-factory team until the Mercedes-powered McLaren MCL38 in 2024.

From 2011 to 2015, Red Bull Racing was officially promoted to Renault full-works partnership independent team. The Red Bull RB6 was also the first Renault-powered car outside Enstone-based full-works team to win the constructors' title since the Williams FW19 in 1997.

rb9

2013

The Red Bull RB9 is a Formula One racing car designed by Adrian Newey for Red Bull Racing to compete in the 2013 Formula One season. The car was driven by (then) three-time World Drivers' Champion Sebastian Vettel and teammate Mark Webber. 

Sebastian Vettel, in keeping with his tradition of naming his cars, named his RB9 "Hungry Heidi," after German model Heidi Klum. Vettel would ultimately claim the Drivers' Championship title, for the fourth consecutive season, at the Indian Grand Prix, after ten wins during the season. Vettel and Webber also brought the car to the last win and world titles for a V8 and a naturally-aspirated engine-powered F1 car, marking the end of the V8 and the naturally-aspirated engine-era of Formula One which began in 1989 when turbocharged engines were banned at that time.

From Belgium to the season-ending race at Brazil, Vettel broke the record for most consecutive wins in a season by a total of 9. Sebastian Vettel would eventually clinch his fourth and final World Drivers' Championship title at the Indian Grand Prix.

Mark Webber announced his Formula One retirement at the British Grand Prix, and the seat went to fellow Australian Daniel Ricciardo.

rb10

2014

The Red Bull RB10 is a Formula One racing car designed by Adrian Newey for defending world champions Infiniti Red Bull Racing to compete in the 2014 Formula One season. It was driven by reigning World Drivers' Champion Sebastian Vettel and Daniel Ricciardo, who was promoted from junior team Scuderia Toro Rosso after Mark Webber announced his retirement from the sport at the end of the 2013 season. The RB10 was designed to use Renault Sport's new 1.6-litre V6 turbocharged engine, the Renault Energy F1-2014.

The team—like fellow Renault-powered outfits Scuderia Toro Rosso and Caterham—were affected first by problems with the physical Renault Energy F1-2014 unit that prevented the individual components of the power unit from working together. Once these issues were resolved, the team experienced problems with the software governing the turbo unit. Red Bull also suffered from unique problems arising from the tight packaging of the RB10 chassis, which caused temperatures within the car to climb so high that parts started to burn.

The RB10 eventually  took its first win of the 2014 season when Ricciardo won the seventh race of the season, in Canada. The win was also Ricciardo's first in Formula One. Ricciardo gave the RB10 its second and third wins at the Hungarian and the Belgian Grands Prix respectively. The team finished second in the Constructors' Championship, with Ricciardo finishing third in the Drivers' Championship, beating Vettel.

For 2016, Red Bull Racing used Renault engines branded as TAG Heuer due to their public breakdown with Renault in 2015. Infiniti also departed as a main sponsor to the newly reformed Renault Sport Formula One Team for the same reason. The team announced on 17 March 2016, one day before the Australian Grand Prix weekend, that they had formed a new technology partnership with Aston Martin, for the new season.

At the Chinese Grand Prix, Red Bull recorded their first podium of the season with Daniil Kvyat finishing third behind Sebastian Vettel and Nico Rosberg.

Daniil Kvyat and Max Verstappen traded places ahead of the Spanish Grand Prix, with Verstappen promoted to Red Bull Racing and Kvyat returning to Scuderia Toro Rosso.  Verstappen eventually won the Spanish Grand Prix, becoming the youngest ever Grand Prix winner.

Together Daniel Ricciardo and Max Verstappen won two races during the 2016 season with the Red Bull RB12.  2016 in general was a much stronger season for Red Bull Racing than 2015, especially after Max Verstappen replaced Daniil Kvyat.

Red Bull Racing finished second in the Constructors' Championship that year, with Daniel Ricciardo taking third in the Drivers' Championship.

rb12

2016

The Red Bull RB12 is a Formula One racing car designed by Red Bull Racing to compete in the 2016 Formula One season. The car was driven by Daniel Ricciardo, Daniil Kvyat and Max Verstappen, the lattermost of whom swapped with Kvyat mid-season, moving from Scuderia Toro Rosso to Red Bull while Kvyat moved to Toro Rosso ahead of the Spanish Grand Prix.

The car used a customer Renault engine re-badged as a TAG Heuer following the breakdown in the relationship between Red Bull and Renault in 2015 as Renault re-formed their works constructor after Lotus buyout. This was the last Red Bull car with fuel and lubricants from Total ending their eight-year partnership.

In the week leading up to the Spanish Grand Prix, Kvyat was relegated back to Scuderia Toro Rosso for the rest of the season, while Verstappen was promoted in his place to Red Bull Racing.

rb14

2018

The Red Bull RB14 was a Formula One racing car designed and constructed by Red Bull Racing to compete during the 2018 FIA Formula One World Championship. The car was driven by Daniel Ricciardo and Max Verstappen, and made its competitive début at the 2018 Australian Grand Prix. Like its predecessors the RB12 and RB13, the RB14 used a Renault engine badged as a TAG Heuer.

The RB14 was the last car built by Red Bull Racing to use customer Renault engines as the team switched to Honda power in 2019.

Following difficult pre-season tests in 2016 and 2017 in which the team attended the first tests with older-model cars, Red Bull announced that they would launch the RB14 earlier in the year than they had with the RB12 and RB13 to gather more on-track data.

Ricciardo and Verstappen competed in the United States Grand Prix wearing special cowboy-styled race suits as a special tribute to Austin and Texas.

rb15

2019

The Red Bull RB15 is a Formula One racing car designed and constructed by Red Bull Racing to compete during the 2019 FIA Formula One World Championship and the first to be powered by a Honda engine, in the form of the RA619H.

 The car was driven by Max Verstappen, Pierre Gasly and Alexander Albon. Pierre Gasly was originally meant to be driving the car for the entire season after moving from Toro Rosso to replace Daniel Ricciardo. However, after the 2019 Hungarian Grand Prix it was announced that Alexander Albon would be replacing Gasly for the remainder of the season. The car made its competitive début at the 2019 Australian Grand Prix. Max Verstappen's win at the 2019 Austrian Grand Prix made the RB15 the first Honda-powered car to achieve victory since Jenson Button won for Honda at the 2006 Hungarian Grand Prix in the Honda RA106.

Development of the RB15 marked a big transition due to the switch from Renault to Honda power units. This change required a complete redesign of the car's rear end in order to accommodate the new engine. The Honda engine has a unique design; it has a split turbo system similar to Mercedes. There were also changes to the cooling system, new aerodynamic adjustments such as the wing design, an improves airflow, optimized bargeboards to maximize the chassis performance.

At the Monaco Grand Prix, the team paid tribute to Niki Lauda with his image and text reading "Danke Niki" on the sidepods.

rb16/rb16b

2020-2021

The Red Bull Racing RB16 and RB16B are Formula One racing cars designed and constructed by Red Bull Racing to compete during the 2020 and 2021 Formula One World Championships, respectively. They were powered by Honda's RA620H (2020) and RA621H (2021) power units, being the second and third Red Bull to use the Japanese manufacturer's engines. The drivers for 2020 were Max Verstappen and Alexander Albon, both of whom were retained by the team for a fifth and second season respectively, with Sergio Pérez taking Albon's place for 2021.

The RB16 was planned to make its competitive debut at the 2020 Australian Grand Prix, but this was delayed when the race was cancelled and the next three events in Bahrain, Vietnam and China were postponed in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The RB16 made its debut at the 2020 Austrian Grand Prix, while the RB16B made its debut at the 2021 Bahrain Grand Prix.

With largely unchanged technical regulations for the 2020 season, the RB16 was based on its predecessor the RB15.

The RB16 and RB16B competed in 39 races, winning 13 (success rate of 33.33%). The RB16B became the first non-Mercedes car to win any championship since 2013, Honda became the first Japanese and Asian engine supplier world champions of the turbo-hybrid era, and became one of two championship cars with the Mercedes-AMG F1 W12 (Red Bull won drivers, and Mercedes won constructors).

Red Bull Advanced Technologies Limited (RBAT) is owned by Red Bull GmbH and serves as the commercial technology and engineering services arm of Red Bull Racing. The company is based in the United Kingdom, in a dedicated facility, adjacent to the Red Bull Racing Formula One facilities.

Red Bull Advanced Technologies in collaboration with Aston Martin developed the Aston Martin Valkyrie sports car.

Red Bull Advanced Technologies in a collaborative effort with Dallara and IndyCar, developed the 'aeroscreen' safety device for usage in the IndyCar Series.

Red Bull Advanced Technologies announced in June 2022 that they were developing a hypercar completely in-house, named the RB17, in line with their Formula One car naming scheme. The car would be designed by Adrian Newey, Chief Technical Officer at Red Bull Racing. Only 50 units are to be made, with production scheduled to begin in 2025. The prototype was revealed to the public at Goodwood Festival of Speed by Oracle Red Bull Racing Team in July 2024.

Following Honda's withdrawal as a works entity after 2021, an engine development freeze lobbied by Red Bull allowed them to sign a deal with Honda to use their engines until the end of 2024 (this would later be extended until 2025).

The initial deal would see Red Bull receive the Honda engine I.P and then construct and maintain the engines through a newly formed company named Red Bull Powertrains Limited which also took over part of Honda's Milton Keynes facility.

This was only made possible by the engine freeze being agreed upon as Red Bull, at the time, did not have the ability to further develop the Honda engine and without the freeze, there were concerns of falling behind rival manufacturers.

For the 2022 season, to reflect Honda's initial decision to withdraw, it was agreed that Red Bull would rebrand the Honda engines as RBPT power units.

rb19

2023

The Red Bull Racing RB19 is a championship-winning Formula One car designed and constructed by Red Bull Racing and powered by the Honda RBPTH001 power unit which competed in the 2023 Formula One World Championship. The car was unveiled in New York City on 3 February 2023. The RB19 was driven by defending world champion Max Verstappen and Sergio Pérez. The car also marked the return of Honda as a named engine supplier to Red Bull Racing and AlphaTauri, with both teams' engines badged as Honda RBPT.

The car is one of the most dominant cars in the history of the Formula One World Championship, winning 21 out of the 22 races (95.45%) it competed in, thereby outperforming the McLaren MP4/4's previous record of winning 15 out of 16 races (93.8%) that had stood since the 1988 F1 season. It has the second highest percentage of laps led in a season at 86.7% (1149 out of 1325), behind the MP4/4's 97.3% (1003 out of 1031).

During preseason testing in Sakhir at the Bahrain International Circuit, the car was immediately proven to be an improvement over its predecessor, the RB18, which was already dominant over its competitors.

rb21

2025

The Red Bull Racing RB21 is a Formula One car which was designed and constructed by Red Bull Racing and competed exclusively in the 2025 Formula One World Championship. It was driven by defending World Champion Max Verstappen, who was joined by Liam Lawson and Yuki Tsunoda, the latter replacing Lawson from the Japanese Grand Prix.

The RB21, which was powered by the Honda RBPTH003 power unit, is the last Red Bull Racing car to be powered by Honda RBPT-badged engines, with Honda returning in a fully fledged capacity for the forthcoming new power unit rules and switching to powering the rival Aston Martin team from 2026.

The RB21 was the first Red Bull Racing car since the RB2 to not be designed by former Chief Technical Officer Adrian Newey, and the first car to be designed by Technical Director Pierre Waché who is now overseeing all aspects of any future Red Bull challengers from design to production with the RB21 being the first car for which he oversaw both the design and production process. Two mid-season upgrades for the car have been introduced overall: first a package at Miami, and the second at Monza.

The car achieved eight wins, fifteen podiums, eight pole positions, and three fastest laps in Grands Prix, plus two sprint wins, all with Verstappen.

After months of speculation, Porsche AG confirmed in September 2022 that talks with Red Bull GmbH would not continue. The intention was to reach an engine and team partnership, based on equal footing but the negotiations never came to fruition. Instead, on 3 February 2023, Ford Motor Company announced a partnership with Red Bull Powertrains that would begin during the 2026 season, providing "expertise in areas including battery cell and electric motor technology as well as power unit control software and analytics" and "combustion engine development" for Red Bull Racing and Racing Bulls with an option of Ford acquire the team's majority ownership stake in the future and thus the team will conclude the seven-year long-standing Honda partnership (including RBPT rebadging) that began since 2019 due to Honda electing to move to Aston Martin in the same season.

The new power unit (PU) regulations in 2026 by the FIA will retain the same layout as current engines, with the same RPM despite generational change. However, a reduced fuel flow rate will be introduced. A power output of 539 HP will be achieved with the new PUs. The Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) will be simplified to reduce costs. The Energy Recovery System (ERS) will be increased to 350kW, compared to the previous 120kW. Following the 2025 Qatar Grand Prix, Red Bull announced the promotion of Isack Hadjar from Racing Bulls to partner Verstappen for 2026.

rb22

2026

The Red Bull Racing RB22 is a Formula One car which was designed and constructed by Red Bull Racing to compete in the 2026 Formula One World Championship. It is currently being driven by four-time World Champion Max Verstappen and Isack Hadjar, who made his debut with Red Bull following his debut in Racing Bulls the previous season.

The RB22 is the first Red Bull Racing car to be powered by Ford power, marking the first time since the Milton Keynes team's stint as Jaguar that they were powered by a Ford engine. Technical Director Pierre Waché oversees the chassis development for the RB22 with Technical Director Ben Hodgkinson of Red Bull Ford Powertrains overseeing the engine development.

For 2026, the Formula One regulations received significant changes revolving around the car's aerodynamics and engine. Due to this, the RB22 features significant changes from its predecessor, the RB21. The RB22 is the first Red Bull car since the Red Bull Racing RB14 of 2018 to not be powered by Honda power, following the Japanese manufacturer's move to Aston Martin in a works role.
