The team later became competitively dominant by hiring leaders such as Christian Horner and Adrian Newey, winning four consecutive drivers’ and constructors’ titles from 2010 to 2013. In the episode, Red Bull shows that an F1 team can be both a marketing platform and a real engineering organization.
