Formula One fans who were hoping for a three-team battle for the Russian Grand Prix [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/f1/russian-grand-prix/] win, will be disappointed. Apparently, Red Bull and Toro Rosso [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/f1/toro-rosso/], the two Honda-powered teams, will take grid penalties for this weekend. This penalty comes ahead of Honda’s home race in Japan [https://www.formula1.com/en/racing/2019/Japan.html] in two weeks time. The good news is that Max Verstappen [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/max-verstappen/] and Alexander Albon [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/alexander-albon/] will only drop five places, along with Toro Rosso’s Pierre Gasly [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/pierre-gasly/]. However, the bad news is that they will be right amongst the midfield kitted with their new Spec 4 internal combustion engines. On the other hand, local hero Daniil Kvyat [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/daniil-kvyat/] has a far more challenging task ahead of him. The Russian driver is expected to start his home race from the back of the grid. This is because, his Toro Rosso underwent a complete power unit change, excluding the battery. Red Bull [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/redbullmax-768x378.jpg] According to a statement from Honda, “Looking at our power unit usage for the rest of the season, in Sochi all 4 drivers will get a new Spec 4 ICE,”. “With a different replacement history, Kvyat is changing all elements except the battery. He will start from the back of the grid. The other 3 will get 5 place grid penalties.” This is not the first time the Red Bull teams have been thrust into this kind of position. Earlier, at the Belgian Grand Prix, Albon and Kvyat started from the back of the pack with a new power unit. Meanwhile, Verstappen and Gasly took their turn to start from the back of the grid in Monza. The Japanese Grand Prix on October 13th, will be Honda’s maiden home race with Red Bull. At the Suzuka circuit, the Japanese engine manufacturer will be gunning for a strong result. Already, with the energy drinks outfit, Honda claimed two race victories under their belt, and are aiming for a third.

<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.

The Russian Grand Prix is a relatively newer addition to the F1 calendar, with the Sochi Autodrom hosting the Annual event seven times since the first race in 2014. Since then, it has been a regular feature in the Formula One World Championship. The Mercedes team have thrived here, having taken every win since inception.

The Sochi Autodrom, despite being flanked by stunning architectural marvels, isn't a fan favorite circuit due to the nature of the track. Repetitive 90 degree turns make for a rather dull Grand Prix, which has been the case over the past few years.

<h2><strong>Toro Rosso: Latest News, Results, Drivers and Car Updates</strong></h2>
The Toro Rosso F1 team are a year younger than sister team Red Bull. Toro Rosso was largely seen as a feeder team for <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/f1/red-bull/">Red Bull</a>. The team were born from the ashes of the Minardi team. When Minardi boss, Paul Stoddart sold his remaining assets to Red Bull?s Dietrich Mateschitz, Toro Rosso was the result.

A number of their former drivers have been promoted to Red Bull, namely, <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/sebastian-vettel/">Sebastian Vettel</a>, <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/daniel-ricciardo/">Daniel Ricciardo</a>, <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/max-verstappen/">Max Verstappen</a>, <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/daniil-kvyat/">Daniil Kvyat</a>, and now <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/pierre-gasly/">Pierre Gasly</a>.

Their driver line-up for 2019 was Russian driver Daniil Kvyat and Thai driver <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/alexander-albon/">Alexander Albon</a>.

The team changed the name to <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/f1/alphatauri/">AlphaTauri</a> after the 2019 season.
<h2>Best of Toro Rosso</h2>

<h2><strong>On-track Achievements</strong></h2>
The team scored points in their first season, with Vitantonio Liuzzi finishing eighth in USA. Their big break came in 2008 at the Italian Grand Prix.

Sebastian Vettel had stunned many when he nabbed pole position at a damp Monza circuit. He would later convert that into a win, again in the damp conditions. In the process, he broke the record for the youngest pole-sitter and youngest race winner.

To this day, his pole-position record still stands, despite Max Verstappen?s efforts. It also remains as Toro Rosso?s only win in their F1 career. That year, they also had a career-best finish of sixth in the constructor?s championship.

<h2><strong>Toro Rosso?s Sponsors</strong></h2>
Toro Rosso largely share sponsors with Red Bull. For the sake of clarity, their title sponsor is Red Bull, for obvious reasons. Other sponsors include Pirelli, Honda, Siemens, and Casio. On October 19th, 2018, American fast-food giant KFC signed on as a sponsor.
<h2><strong>Charity</strong></h2>
Like sister team Red Bull, Toro Rosso also support Wings for Life Charity.

<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.

But in 2017, he stepped down and ownership was handed to Liberty Media who have been taking care of F1 since then. To herald their control, they even changed the F1 logo.

Chase Carey was the first F1 CEO in the 'liberty era' of F1 and will be stepping down at the end of the year. Former Ferrari team principal Stefano Domenicali will succeed the American in 2021.
