Congrats to Red Bull.

It is truely amazing to win 3 world titles in a Row. And i believe they are only the third or fourth to do it?

They deserve it for another great Car.

I heart Red Bulls <3

having been a red bull supporter since they bought out Jaguar and started racing in 2005 which what was a dog of a car well off the pace and firmly in the 2nd tier behind McLaren/Ferrari/Williams to see them step up and win 3 consecutive constructors titles; 2 drivers and be leading for a 3rd well :D

Congrats to Red Bull, a very deserving team!

Congrats indeed. :up: :)

I remember, when they became a top team in 2009, people were suspicious that they might be a one-night butterfly like Brawn GP and will sooner or later get overtaken by Ferrari and McLaren.

But the depth of the team has proven to be immense year after year. Red Bull has stayed on top, shows no signs of decline, while we are now wondering, whether McLaren could start struggling in the future instead.

Incredible racing organization. All fairy-tales come to an end one day, but they are certainly doing their best to replicate the so far unprecented Ferrari/Team Schumacher's run of glory.

I think 2012 has been a good test to the team. When in Australia McLaren locked out the front row, while RBR was only in the third row, I was left wondering if Red Bull has really finally been beaten. In addition I was thinking that this situation will truly test the team now - how can they deal with difficulties and overcome them.

As a slow start to the season wasn't enough, several devices were banned during the season, which again affected their form. But incredibly the team has pulled through all adversities and challenges and still come out on top. Whatever obstacle you throw at them, they still manage to recover.

I've never read so much bullshot on here.

Red Bull are a well organised team that have a good driver, excellent aero guy and amazing engine.

They also push the rules way past the limit and whenever the other teams (because the FIA wont) point out where they are transgressing the rules, the FIA ask if they wouldn't mind chnging the part to comply with the rules.

The Red Bull is so far ahead that Webber could win the championship with his eyes closed but isn't allowed. Why? Because Red Bull put the equilivant of a small countries GDP into motorsport at all levels.

The contribution is very welcome but the price is the F1 crown.

^ A bit subjective comment, isn't it?


Renault has not been proven to be the best engine. At best it's on the same page with Ferrari and Mercedes. I keep reading that RBR's budget is not the highest. All teams push and bend the rules wherever they can. There is nothing new here. I don't know how Webber's lackluster performance prooves that RBR is well ahead. I don't buy the theory that RBR won't let him be ahead. He is just slower than Vettel 90% of time and that's why he serves the role of the supporting driver the rest of time. He was nowhere near winning WDC last year or this year IMO (being ahead by a few points in mid-season shouldn't count IMO).

Well.. I was indeed very wrong about them. I do remember saying it was a shame Newey moved to that joke of a team... they gave me the impression that they are in F1 to organize parties and promote an energy drink but a few years and 3 titles later I realize they do have some interest in racing too.
