Oracle Red Bull Racing have started off on a good footing in 2023, picking up right where they left off, having claimed both the Drivers’ and Constructors’ Championships in 2022.

From humble beginnings in 2005, they are now the team to catch, with star drivers Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez behind the steering wheels of Team Principal and CEO Christian Horner’s excellent RB19 cars in 2023.

Oracle Red Bull Racing’s partner Pokerstars Casino have compiled this short selection of interesting facts about the team and some of the drivers that have helped drive Oracle Red Bull Racing to success over the years:

• Christian Horner was the youngest Team Principal at the time of his appointment by Red Bull Racing in January 2005. He was 32-years-old.
