From Stewart Racing to Jaguar to Red Bull and 3 straight world championships


From Stewart Racing to Jaguar to Red Bull and 3 straight world championships

In 1996, 3-time world champion Sir Jackie Stewart launched his eponymous Formula 1 team in partnership with Ford. Four years later after some limited success Ford took over the team and rebranded it Jaguar. From there it was all downhill until 2004 when the automaker finally had enough and essentially gave it away to Red Bull founder Dietrich Mateschitz. 

From that point on, the team was re-built from the ground up by team boss Christian Horner and technical chief Adrian Newey. The result is 3 straight championships for Sebastian Vettel in 2010-12.  The video restrospective tells how they got there.
