DO YOU KNOW THE STORY OF THE ENERGY DRINK THAT WENT ON TO BECOME THE MOST SUCCESSFUL TEAM IN FORMULA 1? Who could have guessed that an energy drink brand could reign supreme in Formula 1? In 1995, Red Bull thought that the world's biggest motor racing competition perfectly reflected its philosophy: risk, adventure and success beyond the limits. That's why it decided to become part of this great spectacle. Its beginnings were as a sponsor, through Sauber. Thus, with its economic contribution to the Swiss team, Red Bull achieved the team's first podium through German Heinz-Harald Frentzen, in addition to adding the brand name to the team that saw the debut of a future champion: Kimi Räikkönen. However, Red Bull's racing ambitions went further than that. In 2005, it bought the Jaguar team to create its own team: Red Bull Racing. A year later, it bought Minardi to form a second team: Toro Rosso. Who would have thought that this risky maneuver could end in success? Then came the moments of glory: David Coulthard's first podium in Monaco, or Toro Rosso's first victory at Monza and Red Bull's first victory in China by a Sebastian Vettel who ended up being the key to Red Bull's golden era. But Red Bull is much more than Sebastian Vettel's glory days. Its history cannot be understood without names like Adrian Newey or technologies like the blown diffuser. This book shows the trajectory of Red Bull in Formula 1 in a simple, light way and through its main keys so that you can enjoy wonderful memories or learn the past of one of the main racing teams of the competition.
