Red Bull

Red Bull Racing is one of two Formula One teams owned by Austrian beverage company Red Bull. (The other is Scuderia Toro Rosso). The team is managed by Christian Horner, boss of the Arden International GP2 Series team. The team is now competing with an Austrian licence having previously competed under the British flag.

Origins
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 F1."Red Bull, a large 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.
Red Bull Racing was not the start of Red Bull's involvement in motorsport. Setting up a Formula One team of its own meant that Red Bull had to end its long-term partnership with the Sauber Formula One team. The drinks company also runs a young drivers programme, Red Bull Junior Team, whereby Red Bull sponsors promising young drivers. High-profile drivers who have received this backing include Enrique Bernoldi, Christian Klien, Patrick Friesacher, Vitantonio Liuzzi and Scott Speed. Red Bull also sponsors many drivers and teams competing in the GP2 Series, Formula One's "feeder" series.

Red Bull Racing was one of only four teams (the others being Ferrari, Midland F1 and WilliamsF1) to have signed the Concorde Agreement starting in 2008, guaranteeing its long-term involvement in Formula One. However, more recently further teams have submitted entries securing the future of Formula One.

Red Bull will continue with the same drivers in 2008 and will have numbers 9 and 10 on their cars after finishing 5th in the 2007 constructors championship. Red Bull presented the RB4 at the Jerez circuit on January 16 and announced that Sébastien Buemi would be their test and reserve driver for 2008 combining it with his GP2 drive with the Arden International GP2 team.
In the first six races of 2008, Mark Webber has continued to star for the team, recording 15 points, including fifth place in Spain, and fourth place in Monaco. Melbourne too looked good for Webber, who was in fine form all weekend until brake failure haulted him in qualifying, and a minor collision on the opening lap forced him into retirement.
Webber notched up his 50th top ten grid position at the Spanish Grand Prix, an impressive stat given he has started 107 Grands Prix, mostly in mid-field cars. That makes his top ten start ratio to Grands Prix entered close to 50%. David Coulthard had a tougher start to the 2008 campaign due to poor qualifying, but a podium finish in Canada gave Red Bull their first podium since the 2007 European Grand Prix.
