2010 Constructors Championship; The Red Bull Way

I always thought that it was lucky number seven.  I guess that saying is about to change, lucky number 6.  That is not right either.  Red Bull Racing's success has nothing to do with luck or numbers.  It has everything to do with the blood, sweat and tears.  This team has gone through everything to get to this point, and well deserved it is.  Red Bull Racing hit the ground running in 2005 and has never looked back.

 I don't know how Adrian Newey and his team of crack design and technical  only took 5 attempts to prefect the RB6.  I have written and re-written this  blog countless number of times and it is just words.  I cannot imagine the  pure metal capacity it would take to design, create and build such a  fantastic machine when I am having such a hard time trying to put into  words my gratitude.

 Since the day that the team launched, they have lived by a completely new  set of moral s and code than witnessed before.  Red Bull Racing Formula  One Team is just that, a team.  It would have been easy enough to throw all their weight behind a single driver but instead kept it about the team, about it's ethics.  The name Red Bull Racing has been dragged through the mud and been tarnished every step of the way  but what doesn't kill you only make you stronger.  And boy did it ever.  They even have a shiny new trophy to show for it!


Christian Horner.  He is not just a team boss but but has also become the face of Red Bull Racing. Horner has overcome unbearable obstacles, comments and slander to keep the team together, to keep them running like clock work.  There are not too many other team principals that have become the centerfold that Hormer has and kept his head about it.  He has been able to keep his head in the game to pull out the most prestigious title that any Formula One team could ever hope for.

The pit crew, the race mechanics, the race engineers and all the 500 of more employees to Red Bull Racing spread out all across the world.  It is all just a puzzle and would not have been able to be completed to such a high degree had it not been for all of you. Each and every single person on this team.   Most spectators only think about who they can see on television or in the cockpits of the cars, if it was not for each individual person, the name Red Bull Racing would not be synonymous with the 2010 Constructor's Title.

Mark Webber and Sebastian Vettel.  The two of you drove home this victory, this title. Quite literally, with a fantastic race and a fantastic one - two in Brazil.  With 18 races and statistics such as the pair of you have gained, there really was not a way that it could have played out any other way.  That the 2010 Constructor's Title could have been won by any other team.
As a team effort, this one was it.  There could not have been a better team or a more deserving team than the Red Bull Racing Formula One Team.  No matter what they say, this is not about the driver's it is about the team.  I only wish there was some way, as a member of your community, to express my gratitude and appreciation to the team rather that just saying that you over and over again.  But that is all that I come armed with at this time.

Thank you for being a team unto it's own, for leading the way into a new era of Formula One history.

Oh, PS... A little dab of Superglue should fix the trophy up just like new!
