This is every Red Bull Formula 1 car
Red Bull entered Formula 1 in 2005 and will hit the track with its latest challenger this week, here is every car it has raced so far
2005 – RB1
Drivers: David Coulthard, Christian Klien and Vitantonio Liuzzi
Best grand prix result: Fourth
Constructors' championship position: Seventh
From the ashes of the Jaguar R5 came the Red Bull RB1, the Austrian team’s first entry in Formula 1. The car helped Red Bull triple Jaguar’s 2004 tally as it fought for seventh in the standings.
2006 – RB2
Drivers: David Coulthard, Robert Doornbos and Christian Klien
Best grand prix result: Third
Constructors' championship position: Seventh
The RB2 was Red Bull’s only Ferrari-powered car, making use of the Italian manufacturer’s 2.4-litre V8 in a chassis that was designed by Mark Smith, Rob Taylor and Ben Agathangelou.
2007 – RB3
Drivers: David Coulthard and Mark Webber
Best grand prix result: Third
Constructors' championship position: Fifth
The RB3 was a pivotal car for Red Bull as it marked the first racer to use a Renault power unit – a partnership that would last until 2018 – and it was the team’s first F1 car to be designed by Adrian Newey.
2008 – RB4
Drivers: David Coulthard and Mark Webber
Best grand prix result: Third
Constructors' championship position: Seventh
Red Bull had a tough start to the year with the RB4, with both drivers retiring from the season-opener in Australia. A handful of points finishes and a podium soon came Red Bull’s way, before the car and driver David Coulthard bowed out with a special livery for the final race in Brazil.
2009 – RB5
Drivers: Sebastian Vettel and Mark Webber
Best grand prix result: First
Constructors' championship position: Second
The results really started coming Red Bull’s way with the RB5 and it picked up the team's first win at just the third race of the year, China. The team challenged for wins over the remainder of the year, and Sebastian Vettel ended the season in second behind Brawn’s Jenson Button.
2010 – RB6
Drivers: Sebastian Vettel and Mark Webber
Best grand prix result: First
Constructors' championship position: First
The RB6 delivered Red Bull its first drivers’ and constructors’ championship as F1 entered a new regulation era. The team dominated the season, and only missed the podium in six out of 19 grands prix.
2011 – RB7
Drivers: Sebastian Vettel and Mark Webber
Best grand prix result: First
Constructors' championship position: First
A year later, Red Bull’s reign continued with the RB7, which finished on the podium in all but one race over the course of 2011. By the end of the season, Red Bull had outscored second-place McLaren by more than 150 points.
2012 – RB8
Drivers: Sebastian Vettel and Mark Webber
Best grand prix result: First
Constructors' championship position: First
The wolves closed in on Red Bull in 2012, with the team facing much stiffer competition from the likes of Ferrari and McLaren at Formula 1’s sharp end. But with Sebastian Vettel and Mark Webber at the wheel, the RB8 amassed seven race wins and a further seven podium finishes.
2013 – RB9
Drivers: Sebastian Vettel and Mark Webber
Best grand prix result: First
Constructors' championship position: First
Red Bull’s dominance in F1 reached a head with the RB9, which won the team its fourth consecutive constructors’ and drivers’ crowns. It proved to be the team’s most dominant car so far in F1, winning 13 out of a possible 19 grands prix.
2014 – RB10
Drivers: Daniel Ricciardo and Sebastian Vettel
Best grand prix result: First
Constructors' championship position: Second
Red Bull was caught napping when Formula 1 went hybrid, with an under-performing Renault engine keeping it from fighting for a fifth world title. The car’s compact design meant it was susceptible to overheating issues early in the season, but it still managed to pick up three race wins with Daniel Ricciardo at the wheel.
2015 – RB11
Drivers: Daniil Kvyat and Daniel Ricciardo
Best grand prix result: Second
Constructors' championship position: Fourth
Reliability and performance issues with the Renault engine were, once again, a weakness for the RB11. The year proved to be Red Bull’s first without a win since 2008, and marked the final year that it would run engines officially badged as Renault after the relationship between the two parties broke down.
2016 – RB12
Drivers: Daniil Kvyat, Daniel Ricciardo and Max Verstappen
Best grand prix result: First
Constructors' championship position: Second
For 2012, Red Bull rebadged its Renault engines as TAG Heuer power units, and the RB12 was the first car to feature this branding. It was another tough year for the Milton Keynes team, however, which picked up just two race wins – with victory in Spain being Max Verstappen’s first F1 race win.
2017 – RB13
Drivers: Daniel Ricciardo and Max Verstappen
Best grand prix result: First
Constructors' championship position: Third
Red Bull rolled up in 2017 with the third quickest car on the grid, once again flagging behind Mercedes and Ferrari. The RB13 followed a low-drag philosophy to try and maximise its straight-line speeds, which is why it excelled on quick tracks like Azerbaijan.
2018 – RB14
Drivers: Daniel Ricciardo and Max Verstappen
Best grand prix result: First
Constructors' championship position: Third
By the end of the 2018 season, team boss Christian Horner had claimed that the RB14 was one of the strongest chassis in the F1 field. However, it was once again let down by its power unit – and a high-profile crash between team-mates Daniel Ricciardo and Max Verstappen in Baku.
2019 – RB15
Drivers: Max Verstappen, Pierre Gasly and Alexander Albon
Best grand prix result: First
Constructors' championship position: Third
The RB15 was the first Red Bull car to use a Honda power unit, after sister team Toro Rosso had used the engines over the previous season. It was a tricky car, however, with its drivers complaining that it demanded very precise setup and driver input.
2020 – RB16
Drivers: Max Verstappen and Alexander Albon
Best grand prix result: First
Constructors' championship position: Second
Based largely on the 2019 car, the RB16 brought a few aerodynamic updates and suspension changes that were designed to improve its performance in low-speed corners. The updates helped the team to second in the constructors’ standings – aided by a decline in Ferrari’s engine performance.
2021 – RB16b
Drivers: Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez
Best grand prix result: First
Constructors' championship position: Second
The 2021 season saw teams roll out further evolutions of their 2020 machinery, and the RB16b shared many components with its predecessor. Development was focused on the gearbox packaging, which allowed Red Bull to update its suspension, increase downforce and fight for the drivers’ championship.
2022 – RB18
Drivers: Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez
Best grand prix result: First
Constructors' championship position: First
The RB18 was the first Red Bull developed under Formula 1’s new ground-effect era and proved to be the dominant car in the season. The team won 17 out of 22 races and claimed both the drivers’ and constructors’ crown for the first time since 2013.
2023 – RB19
Drivers: Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez
Best grand prix result: First
Constructors' championship position: First
The dominance continued in 2023 and Red Bull’s RB19 won an impressive 21 out of 22 races – giving it a 95.5% win rate. The dominance was attributed to a powerful, reliable Honda engine, strong downforce created by its complex floor and a mastery of DRS that aided overtaking on the straights.
2024 – RB20
Drivers: Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez
Best grand prix result: First
Constructors' championship position: Third
After dominating the first two years of F1’s ground-effect era, Red Bull faltered in 2024 with the RB20, which proved to be tricky on setup and unpredictable at times. With Max Verstappen at the wheel, it still won nine races and earned him a fourth drivers’ crown, but it also saw the team drop to its lowest position in the constructors’ standings in five years.
2025 – RB21
Drivers: Max Verstappen, Liam Lawson and Yuki Tsunoda
Best grand prix result: First
Constructors' championship position: Third
The fall continued in 2025, and Red Bull was outclassed by McLaren. Updates to the RB21 over the course of the year – notably a new floor after the summer break – helped the team claw back its results to win eight races and secure third in the standings.
2026 – RB22
Drivers: Max Verstappen and Isack Hadjar
Best grand prix result: N/A
Constructors' championship position: N/A
The RB22 will be the first Red Bull racer to use an in-house developed powertrain, which has been created in conjunction with American automaker Ford.
