About Red Bull Technology

For many fans of Formula One, the sport exists between lights and chequered flag on a Sunday afternoon. It begins and ends with the exploits of the drivers on the track. 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.

From the pit crew searching for the ultimate repeatable pit stop, to the inspiration of the designers, the application of engineers and the herculean efforts of an army of technicians and machinists, Formula One is a team sport in a very literal sense – 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 Vehicle Design, Aerodynamics, Vehicle Simulation, Electronics, Production Engineering, Control Systems, R&D and Data Management.  Our State of the Art facilities stretch across three factory units, and a wind tunnel in Bedford.
