The puzzle pieces are slowly falling in place, in terms of the 2020 Formula One grid. Now, it seems that even more seats will be claimed for next season, that of Red Bull Honda. According to motorsport advisor, Dr. Helmut Marko [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helmut_Marko], the Austrian outfit’s line-up for 2020 will be announced after the US Grand Prix. The team are spoilt for choice, with Pierre Gasly [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/pierre-gasly/], Alex Albon [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/alexander-albon/] and Daniil Kvyat [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/daniil-kvyat/] to choose from. Any one of those three will be driving alongside Max Verstappen [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/max-verstappen/] in the senior team next year. Initially, there were rumours of Sebastian Vettel [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/sebastian-vettel/] returning, but Marko quickly dispelled them. “I have no idea where Sebastian Vettel’s future lies,” the Austrian admitted to Speedweek. “We’ve had some wonderful years, but now we have four drivers. Vettel is not relevant for us”. He even had a glowing report for Red Bull’s newest recruit, Alex Albon. Marko was impressed with how he has gelled with the team, making him a serious contender for the 2020 seat. Red Bull [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/skysports-max-verstappen-red-bull_4305886.jpg]Who will partner Max Verstappen at Red Bull “He fits well into the team and impressed immediately with his debut in Belgium. He was right there from the first lap.” Now, it seems that Red Bull will come clean about their immediate future, namely the 2020 season. “After the GP of America (early November) we will announce who will drive where,” said Marko. It was also note-worthy that at last weekend’s Grand Prix, Verstappen teased the press. It was something along the lines of the Dutchman switching to Ferrari to replace the Sebastian Vettel. “Charles and I could get along at the same team. We both want to win, but we respect each other. I won’t deny that there could be conflicts, but it wouldn’t be like [Lewis] Hamilton and [Nico] Rosberg at Mercedes.” said Verstappen. Admittedly though, that would most likely be a pipe dream as Sebastian Vettel is still contracted for 2020.

<h2>Red Bull: 2021 Latest News, Results, Drivers, and Car Updates</h2>
The Red Bull team made their official F1 debut back in 2005. However, the origin of the team themselves can be traced back to 1997. At that time, they were known as the Stewart Racing team, a team owned by F1 legend and triple World Champion, Sir Jackie Stewart.

[caption id="attachment_495654" align="aligncenter" width="1920"]<img class="size-full wp-image-495654" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20201229114122/2020-12-13T134329Z_1480797127_UP1EGCD124HZO_RTRMADP_3_MOTOR-F1-ABUDHABI.jpg" alt="Red Bull's Max Verstappen leading the pack during the 2020 Abu Dhabi GP" width="1920" height="1120" /> Formula One F1 - Abu Dhabi Grand Prix - Yas Marina Circuit, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates - Red Bull's Max Verstappen in action during the race Pool via REUTERS/Giuseppe Cacace[/caption]

He sold the team to the American company, Ford, who rebranded the team to Jaguar Racing. The iconic British manufacturer would race in the sport until the end of the 2004 season. In the following year, Red Bull took up the reins. Though they were, at best, a midfield team in their early days, in 2009, the dynamic shifted completely.

Red Bull?s drivers for the 2021 season are <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/max-verstappen/">Max Verstappen</a> and <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/sergio-perez/">Sergio Perez</a>. Perez takes the seat from Alex Albon, who is the new test driver for the team.
<h2><strong>Red Bull: On-track Achievements</strong></h2>
They enjoyed a fairly strong start to their debut season when David Coulthard finished fourth in Australia. A year later, he bagged a maiden podium at the 2006 Monaco Grand Prix. A few more intermittent podiums followed until 2009, when the team bagged their first win, courtesy of Sebastian Vettel.

That year, the team amassed six wins and finished second in the Championship. Then came the magnum opus, four Drivers' and Constructors' titles on the trot, all thanks to <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/sebastian-vettel/">Sebastian Vettel</a>.

Red Bull's dominant run in F1 ended with the introduction of the turbo-hybrid era in Formula 1. While the team still clinch the odd pole or win, they are yet to replicate their supremacy from the early 2010s.

As of September 2020, the team had 64 race wins, 182 podiums, and four Drivers' and Constructors' Championships in F1. The team has entered 304 races and amassed over a massive tally of 5043.5 points.
<h2>Does Red Bull have two F1 teams?</h2>
Part of what makes Red Bull such a unique F1 entity is their connection to Scuderia AlphaTauri. AlphaTauri, formerly known as Toro Rosso, is the Austrian outfit's Italian sister team.

Red Bull Racing doesn't necessarily 'own' AlphaTauri. Technically, both teams are owned by the famed drinks company - Red Bull GmbH. The Austrian company's founder - Dietrich Mateschitz, purchased Red Bull (formerly known as Jaguar), followed by Toro Rosso (formerly known as Minardi), as part of a collaboration with former F1 driver Gerhard Berger.

Unofficially, AlphaTauri functions as a proving ground for Red Bull's younger drivers who have the potential to step up and drive for Red Bull Racing.
<h2>How much did Red Bull spend on F1?</h2>
According to <a href="https://www.racefans.net/2020/01/02/the-cost-of-f1-2019-part-two-what-the-top-teams-spent/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">reports</a>, the team spent $335 million in their F1 ventures for the 2019 season.
<h2>How much does Red Bull earn from F1?</h2>
As a reward for its efforts, the Milton-Keynes based outfit received approximately <a href="https://www.racefans.net/2020/01/02/the-cost-of-f1-2019-part-two-what-the-top-teams-spent/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">$335 million</a> in prize money for the 2019 season. The Austrian outfit did not report a healthy profit, but thankfully, it wasn't a loss.

The FOM split from the $335 million is reportedly $150 million (including bonuses).
<h2>What does Aston Martin do for Red Bull?</h2>
In late 2017, the team announced Aston Martin as the team's title sponsor as part of a technical partnership. The Milton-Keynes outfit have worked in close collaboration with Aston Martin to produce the hyper-car, Valkyrie.

<em>"The relationship between Aston Martin and The Team began in 2016 after the two companies combined cutting edge F1 technology and Aston Martin's signature sports car design to produce a ground breaking hypercar,"</em> reads a <a href="https://www.redbull.com/int-en/redbullracing/driving-future-innovation" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">statement</a> from Red Bull.

In early 2020, the team announced that they would be ending their title partnership with Aston Martin following the 2020 F1 season. However, the Austrian outfit will work with the British manufacturer in delivering its hyper-car collaboration.
<h2>Who owns Red Bull Racing?</h2>
The F1 team are owned by the parent company and famed drinks brand- Red Bull GmbH. Red Bull was founded by Dietrich Mateschitz and Chaleo Yoovidhya. Currently, Mateschitz and Chalerm Yoovidhya own the brand.
<h2><strong>Red Bull?s Sponsors</strong></h2>
The team's title sponsor for 2020 is British car manufacturer, Aston Martin. Team partners <a href="https://www.redbull.com/int-en/redbullracing/partners" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">include</a> Rauch, Puma, Tag Heuer, W66, DITA, Pirelli, MyWorld, Piquadro, Iris, and AlphaTauri.

<strong>History</strong>

The Formula One World Championship first started back in 1950. The very first F1 champion was Italy's Guiseppe Farina who raced for Alfa Romeo.

The sport has had 33 different champions in its history and a few of them are multiple championship winners. Currently, the driver with the most championships is <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/michael-schumacher/">Michael Schumacher</a> with 7 under his belt. However, <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/f1/mercedes">Mercedes</a> driver <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/lewis-hamilton/">Lewis Hamilton</a> will be eager to overhaul that. Hamilton currently holds 6 World Championships and stands on the cusp of equalling Michael Schumacher's record at the end of the season.

Had it not been for them (and so many others affiliated with the Red Bull family) and the legacy they?ve created, it?s safe to say Red Bull wouldn?t have been the Red Bull we know today.

<span style="font-weight: 400">Before Helmut Marko made his mark as a Red Bull key figure, he was a racing driver himself. Born on April 27, 1943, in Graz, Austria, Marko fell in love with motorsport at quite a young age. Following a successful stint in endurance racing?winning the 1971 24 Hours of Le Mans?and a short stint in F1?10 races in 1971 and 1972?he was forced to retire. At the 1972 French GP, a stone pierced through his helmet visor and blinded his left eye permanently, effectively ending his racing career.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">In 1989, he got back into the racing circuit, not as a driver but as a Team Principal. He set up RSM Marko, a team competing in Formula 3 and Formula 3000. As an Austrian and a close friend of Red Bull founder, the late Dietrich Mateschitz, Marko made the first step to bring Red Bull into the motorsport industry. He renamed RSM Marko to Red Bull Junior Team in 1999. While the team competed only until 2003, it helped kick-start the Red Bull driver development program in 2001 as we know it today.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Since its inception, Marko has been driving the program?scouting and nurturing young talent and giving them the avenue to enter F1. In 2005, Red Bull officially entered the championship as a constructor. A year later, Red Bull?s sister team, Scuderia Toro Rosso (now Scuderia AlphaTauri) joined the sport as well. While Marko plays a significant role in both teams? functioning, AlphaTauri is almost entirely under his jurisdiction.?</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Marko has very high standards and expectations from his drivers. Because of the authority he has, he and Red Bull management have become notorious for mid-season driver swappings and sackings. Case in point: AlphaTauri rookie Nyck de Vries getting replaced by Daniel Ricciardo this season. But his high expectations and constant pressure have also helped nurture a few of the best talents the sport has ever seen. Case in point: Sebastian Vettel and Max Verstappen.</span>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>On-track Achievements</b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">As mentioned earlier, Marko?s racing career was very short-lived. In the 10 F1 races he competed in between 1971 and 1972, he drove for BRM and McLaren, but couldn?t score any points. While his time in F1 wasn?t anything to write home about, his performance at the 1971 Le Mans is the highlight of his racing career. Driving a Martini-Porsche 917K and partnering Gijs van Lennep, they won the prestigious race.?</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">While that?s as far as his racing achievements go, if his achievements with Red Bull count, he has many more. After giving Vettel a shot at F1 with Toro Rosso in 2007, the German gave the Red Bull family its first win in F1 at the 2008 Italian GP. A year later, he got promoted to the works team, and from there, Vettel didn?t look back. 20010 to 2013 were Vettel?s years. He won four championships in a row, and with Mark Webber alongside him, they gave Red Bull four Constructors? Championships as well.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Can Max Verstappen be considered an achievement? If so, he?s another one of Marko?s. In 2014, when the Dutchman was competing in F3 and impressing, Marko saw potential in him. He told his Austrian compatriot Toto Wolff that Verstappen reminded him of Ayrton Senna and that he has all the assets to succeed at the pinnacle of motorsport. Wolff didn?t see the same spark in Verstappen, but Marko trusted his gut and snatched him up for an F1 drive in 2015.?</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Verstappen joined Toro Rosso as a 17-year-old, and a year later, he was promoted to Red Bull (in a mid-season swap). Driving in his first race for Red Bull at the 2016 Spanish GP, the Dutchman won it. Since then, he?s won 50 more races and three Drivers? Championships. He?s also broken innumerable records along the way.?</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">So, considering everything, Marko has a Le Mans win to his name, seven Drivers? Championships, and six Constructors? Championships.</span>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Helmut Marko at Red Bull</b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">Marko isn?t an official employee of Red Bull Racing, but he?s played a key role in the team since its foundation. Because of how close he was to Mateschitz, they worked together to build Red Bull, with Marko acting as a consultant and advisor to Mateschitz. Once Red Bull got off the ground, Marko continued that role and became Red Bull?s Motorsport Advisor.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">His biggest responsibility in the organization is looking over the driver development program. Additionally, he also plays a crucial role in driver selection. But because he has the authority, and has high expectations, he?s also infamous for switching drivers between teams very often. When Daniil Kvyat started underperforming in Red Bull in 2016, he promoted Verstappen and demoted Kvyat. The same thing happened with Pierre Gasly and Alex Albon in 2019. This year, when De Vries? didn?t live up to his expectations at AlphaTauri, Marko saw Ricciardo?s performance in one test session and gave him a call to replace De Vries.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">He also acts like Red Bull?s spokesperson often, but that hasn?t always worked out in his favor.</span>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Helmut Marko?s controversies</b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">In 2020, during the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic, Marko suggested that Red Bull drivers should go to a camp and intentionally contract the virus. Why? Because it would help build immunity. Considering the virus was deadly in a lot of cases, people widely criticized his comments for their lack of sensitivity and disregard for public health concerns. In an interview with </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400">Road &amp; Track</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400">, he addressed these comments.?</span>

<i><span style="font-weight: 400">?I was serious. Doctors believed once you had it, it?s over. That you can get it a second and third time wasn?t known then. And we have young, strong people. It?s like a flu. Imagine if [Max] Verstappen would have got it last year at the wrong moment. The championship would?ve been gone if he had to miss one or two races,?</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400"> he explained.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Most recently, the Austrian received a lot of backlash for his xenophobic comments against Sergio Perez. The Mexican Red Bull driver hasn?t had the best time in the team this year. His form has been quite erratic, with him struggling to hold on to P2 in the championship. In light of his subpar form, Marko said, </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400">?We know that [Perez] has problems in qualifying. He has fluctuations in form. He is South American, and he is just not as completely focused in his head as Max [Verstappen] or as Sebastian [Vettel].?</span></i>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Considering he attributed Perez?s form to his ethnicity, people weren?t happy. A few days after Marko?s comments, he publicly apologized and even had a one-on-one conversation with Perez to clear the air. Although Perez forgave him, Lewis Hamilton wasn?t too pleased with how Red Bull handled the situation. Considering Marko is affiliated with the team, Hamilton expected some action against the advisor. But neither did Red Bull make a public statement about the comments nor take any action against Marko.</span>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Helmut Marko?s Net Worth</b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">Owing to his racing career, his role at Red Bull, and having dedicated his life to motorsport, Marko is estimated to have a net worth of $1.5 million. For a motorsport career that has spanned five decades (and counting), it makes sense that his net worth is this much. As for his salary, that isn?t too clear, especially considering how he isn?t an actual employee of Red Bull Racing.</span>

<h2 style="text-align: center">Max Verstappen 2024: Net Worth, Salary, and Endorsements</h2>
Max Verstappen was a child prodigy who was roped in by Red Bull F1 at a very young age. He moved into F1 directly from F3 at the age of 17 during the 2015 Australian Grand Prix, partnering <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="http://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/carlos-sainz/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Carlos Sainz Jr</a> in Toro Rosso. For the 2016 Spanish Grand Prix, he was promoted to Red Bull, a race that he won. There was a lot of hype around his entry into Formula 1, and it was completely justified.

He has always been classified as the next big thing in Formula 1, and many anticipate him to do what Lewis Hamilton is doing in the current F1 era. Such is his might and skill, that former F1 drivers, Jenson Button and <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="http://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/fernando-alonso/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Fernando Alonso,</a> <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/article.out-of-this-world-verstappen-on-same-level-as-schumacher-and-alonso-says.6BLkA9yf5x1Qy1rHLyRQPW.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">labeled</a> <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.planetf1.com/news/alonso-verstappen-is-the-best-driver-in-f1/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">him as one of the best F1 drivers on the grid</a>.

Max Verstappen's father - Jos Verstappen was an F1 driver who currently manages him. Jos' F1 career wasn't quite as successful as his son's. His mother's name is Sophie Kumpen. Verstappen's sister, <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.instagram.com/victoriaverstappen/?hl=en" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Victoria</a>, enjoys a healthy following on social media and has her own fashion line.

<h2 class="jsx-8c85ea4b4bcf4dfc" style="text-align: center"><strong>Max Verstappen's Stats and On-track </strong><b>Achievements</b></h2>
Considering the age at which he joined Formula 1, he has multiple records to his name. He is the youngest driver to start a race, score points, be a race leader, step on the podium, and set the fastest lap. Sadly, the one record that eluded him was the Youngest pole sitter, a record that still belongs to <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/sebastian-vettel/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Sebastian Vettel</a>.

With his race win at the 2016 Spanish Grand Prix, he also became the youngest driver to win a Grand Prix. 2019 initially remained one of his best seasons in F1. He had to take a leadership role in the team with Daniel Ricciardo departing to Renault. Max Verstappen took 3 race victories and 2 pole positions to bring glory to both Red Bull and an ailing Honda.

However, then arrived the 2021 season, which witnessed the best version yet of Verstappen. Verstappen went in level on points with Lewis Hamilton heading into the season finale at Abu Dhabi. Both drivers were on 369.5 points and after a high-tension battle for the championship, the Dutchman ousted his rival, to clinch his first-ever title in F1.

Max Verstappen upped the ante the following season, claiming his 2nd Drivers' Championship in 2022 with 454 points. The 2023 season was Verstappen's most dominant as he clinched a hattrick of Drivers' titles with a record 86.35 win percentage. He won a total of 19 out of the 22 races in the 2023 season.
<h2 class="jsx-8c85ea4b4bcf4dfc" style="text-align: center">Max Verstappen: New racing number</h2>
Having won the world championship title in 2021, Verstappen earned the privilege of replacing his previous number, 33, with 1. The rulebook of F1 suggests that any driver that manages to win a title would have the option of sporting #1 over the succeeding season. However, if the driver fails to defend their title that year, they would have to revert to their usual number in the following season.

One might wonder why there hasn't been a driver sporting this prestigious number over all these years. Well, since the hybrid era, only two drivers, apart from Verstappen, have won titles; Hamilton and Rosberg. While the latter retired right after his championship-winning year, denying himself of embracing the king's treatment, Hamilton chose to run with his favorite number, 44, instead.

<h2><strong>Pierre Gasly 2021: Net Worth, Salary, and Endorsements</strong></h2>
Pierre Gasly made his Formula One debut in 2017 for the Toro Rosso team. He filled in for the ousted <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/daniil-kvyat/" rel="noopener noreferrer">Daniil Kvyat</a> for two races before being replaced by Brendon Hartley. Later, when Carlos Sainz left for <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/f1/renault/" rel="noopener noreferrer">Renault</a>, Gasly returned for the remainder of the season.

He made his full-time debut in 2018, alongside teammate Hartley, for <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/f1/toro-rosso/" rel="noopener noreferrer">Toro Rosso</a>. His impressive performances in the sister team earned him a call-up to the Red Bull Formula 1 team for the 2019 season.

Unfortunately, he was fairly underwhelming when pitted against the Dutch phenom, Max Verstappen. So, he was demoted to Toro Rosso mid-season- after the race in Hungary. Following this, his performances displayed a complete turnaround.
<h2><strong>Pierre Gasly: Stats and On-track?</strong><b>Achievements</b></h2>
Having only just started his F1 career, the young Frenchman does not boast of significant records or performances. His best performance is the win at Monza, Italy in 2020.

Gasly faced his toughest challenge in 2019, in the form of <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/max-verstappen/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Max Verstappen</a>. Having earned a promotion to <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/f1/red-bull/" rel="noopener noreferrer">Red Bull</a>, he had the chance to fight for wins and podiums.

Sadly, as mentioned before, he wilted under the pressure and was demoted to Toro Rosso as a result. However, he has suddenly regained his mojo, and it has translated to a maiden podium in Brazil.

In a relatively short career spanning merely 64 Grand Prix starts, Gasly's scored 199 points and two fastest laps, with two podiums and one win to his name. He achieved a career-best finish of seventh in the Championship standings last year.
