Racing Bulls

The team's origins lie in Minardi, a perennial underdog founded by Giancarlo Minardi in 1979 that entered Formula One in 1985. In 2005, Red Bull GmbH acquired the team and rebranded it as Scuderia Toro Rosso, positioning it as a talent pipeline for the senior Red Bull Racing team. Under this name, the team achieved its first victory with Sebastian Vettel at the 2008 Italian Grand Prix, marking a significant milestone for the Faenza-based outfit. In 2020, the team was rebranded to Scuderia AlphaTauri to promote Red Bull's premium fashion brand. This era saw another historic victory at the 2020 Italian Grand Prix with Pierre Gasly, proving the team's ability to compete at the highest level despite its junior status. In 2024, the team transitioned to its current identity as Racing Bulls, establishing a new commercial partnership with Visa and Cash App. This latest iteration reflects a shift toward greater competitive independence and increased technical integration with Red Bull Technology, while maintaining its core manufacturing operations in Italy and expanding its aerodynamic design facilities in the United Kingdom.
