About Red Bull Technology

For many fans of Formula One the sport exists between lights and chequered flag on a Sunday afternoon, but this is merely the tip of the spear. The reality of modern F1 is that of a complex and intertwined operation, every part of which needs to perform near its limit if success is to be achieved. Formula One is a team sport in a very literal sense, we win and lose together – That's why We Love What We Do.

Located in Milton Keynes, Red Bull Technology is responsible for designing and manufacturing the Team's Formula One Cars. We cover many areas of engineering, including Aerodynamics, Vehicle Dynamics, Vehicle Simulation, Mechanical Structures, Transmission, Composites, Hydraulics, Electronics, Production Engineering, Control Systems, R&D and Data Management.
