History

Present 1 Has formulated some for several years in the capacity as sponsor and even of shareholder (at Sauber), the Austrian firm Red Bull repurchases with Ford the stable Jaguar Racing for a sum of 100 million dollars. The transaction is officialized the November 15th 2004.

Been driven by engines Cosworth (although resold by Ford, the British motor mechanic does not give up his presence Formulates 1 and signs a driving supply agreement of them with Red Bull), the single-seaters of Red Bull Racing are one of the good surprise of the beginning of the season and the two pilots of the stable (the veteran David Coulthard and the young person Christian Klien, protected from long time of the Austrian firm) bring back points of the first displacement of the year to Australia. For lack of a technical development as fast as competition, the continuation of the season is less brilliant. But thanks to the regularity of David Coulthard, the team carries out one season overall better than time of Jaguar and finishes the year with the 7° place of the championship manufacturer 2005.

More than by its correct results, it is especially by its communication that the Red Bull team makes speak about it. Posting a nonconformism carefully studied, the team organizes memorable festivals, practices a new policy marketing Formulates 1 (at the time of the GP of Monaco, the mechanics charged with the supply operate in the behavior of the imperial guard of the film Star Wars in order to ensure the promotion of film) and publishes of them a fanzine with corrosive humor entitled " The Red Bulletin" , well far from the very conventional publications of competition.

For the year 2006, the team preserves her same duet of pilots but exchanges the Cosworth engine for an engine Ferrari. Red Bull manages moreover to attract the engineer star Adrian Newey (who however could not work on the Red Bull Racing RB2 of 2006), which confers on the team a new statute. But in spite of the first podium of the stable in Monaco (with David Coulthard vêtu on the podium of the cape of Superman, again within the framework of a business transaction), the results are long in taking off.

For the season 2007, David Coulthard, whose always regular services give satisfaction to its employers, is confirmed. It has like new fellow-member Australian the Mark Webber, coming from Williams. The two men control the RB3, first Red Bull single-seater conceived by Adrian Newey. The team changes once again engine since the Ferrari engine leaves the place to the Renault engine.

David Coulthard would have prolonged his contract for the season 2008.
