About Red Bull Technology
The Red Bull Racing Formula One team was created in 2005. Its first podium was achieved in Monaco 2006, which proved to be a transition year for the team. During 2006 there was investment in new staff and new equipment, while a key appointment was made, in the form of renowned designer Adrian Newey. Wind tunnels and other simulation tools were developed and, as the team worked hard on the RB3, the first car to be designed by Adrian Newey's technical team, the foundations of the team were firmly established.
