Red Bull were the most dominant on the grid from the 2010 season till 2013. The Milton-Keynes outfit won four constructor’s championships and four driver’s championships, courtesy of Sebastian Vettel. However, they have been struggling to win a title ever since Mercedes became a dominant force on the track since 2014.
Now, the team look like they are on the right track in the title fight this year. Not only have they fielded a much more competitive car this season, but their star driver, Max Verstappen, has won two of five races so far. The Austrian squad are also in the lead in both championships as of now.
However, former-world champion, Jacques Villeneuve feels the Red Bull days are done and can’t win another title.
