Red Bull Wins in F1


The Red Bull Racing team has won their first F1 Constructors' Championship with 469 points after the recent Brazilian Grand Prix on Tuesday.  This is a great achievement as Red Bull only won their first Grand Prix last year at the hands of Sebastian Vettel.  One of the driving forces behind this great turn around was Red Bull Technical Chief Adrian Newey who has now won a Constructors' Championship with his third F1 team.  With only one race left this season at Abu Dhabi and both their drivers in the running for the Driver's Championship Red Bull truly have reason to celebrate.
