#3 First Constructors’ Title
The 2009 Chinese Grand Prix was a watershed moment for the team. It marked the start of a competitive streak for the team. Though they won as many as 6 races, with their drivers splitting the wins, the Brawn team’s superiority in the first half of the season was enough to ensure the title for them.
But their first constructors’ title in 2010 was every bit memorable as it could be. Their cars were working brilliantly and both their drivers, Sebastian Vettel and Mark Webber, were in contention to win the drivers’ championship.
The season was the most competitive in recent memory, with as many as five drivers in contention to win the championship in the last race at Abu Dhabi. Teams like McLaren and Ferrari had upped their development, leading to an exciting season.
Red Bull though reigned supreme at the end. Though challenged by the others, they kept up consistent performances throughout the season, finishing in the podium multiple and more often than not, at the top step.
They won 9 out 19 races and confirmed their title at the penultimate race in Brazil. Vettel and Webber finished first and second, taking their points tally to 469, a lead of 48 points over second-placed McLaren. The maximum McLaren could score was 43, which gave Red Bull the title.
In the next race, Vettel would take the victory and with it, the drivers’ title to secure their second trophy of the season. It gave them the belief to succeed and helped them dominate the sport for almost half a decade.
