2010
RB6 normally the fastest car, but reliability niggles, some unfavourable weather and odd driver errors mean team only move ahead in standings mid-season. Constantly improving car sees them ultimately take both titles, despite refusal to impose team orders on Webber & Vettel.
2009
The quick RB5, and great drives by Vettel & Webber, propel Red Bull into the big time. Vettel scores their first pole and victory in China. Five more wins follow as team dominate latter part of season, finishing runner-up in both championships as Brawn's only genuine rivals.
2008
Despite a near identical chassis, the Renault-powered RB4 is increasingly overshadowed by its Ferrari-powered Toro Rosso sibling. David Coulthard's third in Canada the team's best result as they drop from fifth to seventh overall.
2007
Tough start with Adrian Newey-penned RB3, recording at least one retirement in each of the first seven races. Mid-season updates improve pace and relieve reliability woes. Record best finish at European Grand Prix, with Mark Webber third and David Coulthard fifth.
2006
Second season more difficult than first, despite Ferrari power. David Coulthard scores team's first podium in Monaco, but overall amass 18 points less than in '05 and face growing challenge from junior sister team, Toro Rosso.
2005Austrian-owned team's first campaign, following 2004 purchase of Jaguar squad, proves highly successful. Amass more points in the first two races than Jaguar managed the entire previous season. Go on to finish a clear seventh in the standings.
