Red Bull joined the Formula 1 grid back in 2005 after acquiring the Minardi F1 team. Milton Keynes hasn’t looked back since then and has scored highly impressive results. The team celebrated the 20th season in a great fashion at the Goodwood Festival of Speed and also revealed the RB17 Hypercar. Red Bull’s ex-driver David Coulthard, was present at the Festival and congratulated the team’s legacy.

Christian Horner has led Red Bull ever since its inception at the pinnacle of motorsport. The outfit has scored a total of seven championship victories and a whopping 120 race wins. David Coulthard enjoyed a great run with the Austrian constructor from 2005-2008 and played an integral role in the team’s beginning in F1.

In that little factory in Milton Keynes, a lot of guys and girls over there, I worked with them back in the early 90s, incredible job and great legacy, another great example of British engineering."

David Coulthard claims Red Bull’s legacy isn’t just because of the ‘name above the door’

Red Bull will continue to showcase such great results moving ahead in Formula 1. Coulthard further complimented the team on their legacy and drew a comparison with Ferrari. The 53-year-old claimed that Red Bull’s achievements were a great example of proving that it wasn’t just about the ‘name above the door’.

What they’ve achieved is a great example of, it's not the name above the door.

Furthermore, the Briton drew a comparison with Ferrari and claimed that they would be winning it all if it was just about the title of the team.

If it was then one of these two Ferrari would be winning all the championships, it's the people within.
David Coulthard noted.

Hence, Red Bull will have to work hard in the 2024 season to continue building their legacy. Max Verstappen‘s dominant performance has enabled the team to gain a great reputation recently. The coming seasons will only go upward and onwards for the Austrian constructor in F1.
