	2011 Promising start to season, with points in two of first four races and several Q3 appearances.
	2010 First season as a 'true constructor', independent of sister Red Bull team. Reach Q2 in qualifying at most rounds, but point-scoring race results remain few and far between. Best finish an eighth place, courtesy of Buemi, in Canada. Finish ninth overall, ahead only of the new teams.
	2009 Slow start, with both Sebastien Bourdais and Sebastien Buemi struggling to qualify well. Bourdais replaced by 19 year-old Spaniard Jaime Alguersuari after nine rounds. Introduce a major car upgrade in Hungary, but it's not enough to prevent them finishing last in the standings.
	2008 After faltering start, go from strength to strength with Vettel taking team's maiden pole and victory at the Italian Grand Prix. Score consistently in latter third of season to beat parent Red Bull Racing team to sixth in the standings. Berger sells stake in team back to Red Bull.
	2007 Poor start sees 13 retirements in first 10 Grands Prix. American Scott Speed dropped in July and replaced by former BMW Sauber reserve Sebastian Vettel. Improvements lead to best result to date in China, Vettel and Liuzzi taking an eight-point haul.
	2006 Positive first season for Red Bull's 'junior' team, formerly Minardi. As only team to retain (restricted) V10 power, increasingly challenge sister RBR cars, with Liuzzi scoring maiden point at Indianapolis. Former racer Gerhard Berger becomes team principal after buying stake.
