How Red Bull Racing got here

Red Bull took over the Jaguar team in 2005 and turned a midfield operation into a title machine within five years. The campus at Milton Keynes now houses one of the largest aerodynamic departments in the sport.

The RB22 follows the team's usual pattern: a car that starts the season slightly nervous at the rear and gets sharper with every floor iteration. Red Bull rarely brings one big package — instead they bring many small ones, often overnight, and test them on a single car first.

Verstappen's feedback drives that loop. He can separate a genuine gain from a simple balance shift in a handful of laps, which is why the team can commit to an upgrade mid-weekend. Hadjar's job is the opposite one: run the baseline consistently and give the engineers a clean comparison.
