Team RBR history

Red Bull Racing, generally known as RBR, is one of two Formula One teams owned by Austrian beverage company Red Bull, along with Scuderia Toro Rosso. RBR became a constructors' champion in 2010, as they won both the constructors' championship and the drivers' championship, with German Sebastian Vettel. RBR is the first Austian team ever to become a world champion. Although RBR's base is set in Milton Keynes in United Kingdom, they hold an Austrian license. The current Red Bull team can trace its origins back to the Stewart Grand Prix outfit that made its debut in 1997. Ford bought the team from Jackie Stewart, in the late 1999 and renamed it to Jaguar Racing. The Jaguar Racing Formula One constructor and racing team was put up for sale in September 2004 when the Ford Motor Company, decided it could "no longer make a compelling business case for any of its brands to compete in F1. Red Bull decided to buy Jaguar racing, on 15 November 2004, resulting in a name change to "Red Bull Racing". The team started racing using a Cosworth engine, with Christian Horner as the new Team boss and David Coulthard and Christian Klien as drivers. Red Bull company also runs a young drivers program, Red Bull Junior Team, where Red Bull sponsors promising young drivers. Red Bull also sponsors many drivers and teams competing in the GP2 Series, Formula One's "feeder" series. Red Bull Racing also signed the Concorde Agreement starting in 2008, guaranteeing its long-term involvement in Formula One, and they were the 4th Formula one ever to do so. However, more recently more teams repeated this, securing the future of Formula One.

Team Brawn GP history

Brawn GP was a Formula One racing team in 2009, who won both the constructors' championship and the drivers' championship, in the only season they competed in Formula One. That made the team the first and only team ever to achieve 100% success rate. Brawn GP was formed in 6 March 2009, when former technical director of Honda, Ferrari and Benetton, Ros Brawn, bought the team from Honda. As a result the name was changed from Honda Racing F1 Team to Brawn GP. After the loss of Honda's engines, Ross Brawn stated that several manufacturers offered to supply the team's engines, but it was the Mercedes-Benz engines that best fitted the car. The team started and finished the 2009 season with drivers Rubens Barrichello and Jenson Button, who won the world championship title that year. It was considered by many that the team was a continuation of the Honda team, but the FIA considered the team to be an entirely new entry. As it turned out to be, the results Brawn GP scored in that season, had nothing to do with the results Honda had in previous seasons. Brawn GP was given the last pitlane slot, due to the takeover from Honda and the name change. Brawn GP made their debut in the 2009 Australian GP, with Jenson Button taking the pole and Rubens Barrichello qualifying right behind him in 2nd place. Brawn GP already had made a magnificent start, with these results, but the results became better when the race ended with a double win for the team, in only their first race. Jenson Button finished 1st with Rubens Barrichello crossing the finish line 2nd.

Team BRM history

British Racing Motors, generally known as BRM, was a British Formula One team, founded by Raymond Mays, in 1945. They competed in Formula One from 1950 to 1977, winning several Grand Prix and also the 1962 constructors' championship, with Graham Hill behind the wheel, who also won the drivers' championship. The years that came after that the team fought for another championship but they could achieve a highest 2nd place several times. BRM made their debut, with a V16 engine, in 1950 British Grand Prix, both in Formula One and Formula Libre, and won both events with driver Reg Parnell driving the car. However that car was never to be so successful again. The engine proved to be unreliable and difficult to develop. As a result the team decided to move on, with Type 25 as their new car, which used a 2.5-litre atmospheric four-cylinder engine. The new car was unsuccessful for a long time. It a lot of development, until the team finally won a race, in the Dutch Grand Prix in 1959. They continued with a Cooper engine in their chassis, a combination which proved to be very successful, as the engine became dominant. As in 1969 the 1.5 L rule was introduced to F1, BRM constructed the P48 which used many components from P25, but their own engine was still not ready to race so they continued using a Coventry-Climax four cylinder engine. By the end of 1969 BRM finally came up with their own engine, designed by Peter Berthon and Aubrey Woods. Tony Rudd, who was in the team since 1950, was promoted to chief engineer and the engines reliability and engineering problems started to fade.
