RB

Established in 2006 as a squad in which young drivers from Red Bull’s prodigious talent pool could cut their F1 teeth, RB – originally named Toro Rosso and then AlphaTauri – were formed from the ashes of the plucky Minardi team. Sebastian Vettel gave validity to the approach almost immediately, delivering a fairy-tale win in 2008, before going on to enjoy world championship success with parent team Red Bull Racing. Today the ethos of nurturing talent still holds true, though the Italian squad are no longer simply a ‘B team’ but a constructor in their own right...

2024

First season as RB under leadership of new Team Principal Laurent Mekies brings another P8 in the championship, but with almost twice the points of 2023. Most are scored by Yuki Tsunoda, as a struggling Daniel Ricciardo is replaced with Liam Lawson for the final six rounds.

2023

Eventful final campaign under AlphaTauri moniker culminates with P8 in the standings. Newcomer Nyck de Vries dropped mid-season in favour of the experienced Daniel Ricciardo – who then misses five Grands Prix with a broken hand following a practice crash.

2022

Momentum stalls and lose ground to the likes of Alfa Romeo and Haas, dropping to P9 in the final standings, with just 35 points to 2021’s tally of 142. Pierre Gasly takes season’s best result with a fifth place in Baku, but departs the squad at the end of the year.

2021

Move up another place to sixth in the standings, as the ever-improving Pierre Gasly scores a podium in Azerbaijan and points in almost every race he finishes. Rookie team mate Yuki Tsunoda takes time to find his feet, but secures an excellent fourth in season finale.

2020

A new name brings new impetus and AlphaTauri emerge as a true midfield force, scoring more than a century of points, 27 of them on home soil at Monza, where Pierre Gasly secures his and the team’s maiden win.
