Red Bull has been voted ESPNF1's team of the year by a panel of experts, including Sir Stirling Moss, Sir Jackie Stewart and Gerard Lopez.

Sebastian Vettel was voted driver of the year by the same panel and Red Bull made it a clean sweep, gaining votes in recognition of its outstanding season. It won both constructors' and drivers' championships in 2010, taking 15 pole positions and nine victories along the way.

Team principal Christian Horner was delighted with the award: "It's fantastic that we have been voted team of the year by ESPNF1 and thanks to everyone who voted on the panel.

"It was an incredible season for us, which resulted in four one-two finishes, nine wins, fifteen pole positions and two World Championships. It was the realisation of a high target that we set for ourselves at the beginning of the year and it's thanks to the hard work that was put in by the team, all our suppliers and everyone at Red Bull along with the unwavering support from Mr. Mateschitz. We will now build on this result and get ready for new challenges in 2011."

On Wednesday ESPNF1 will publish the panel's views on the 2010 season with their predictions for next year published on Thursday.
