F1 | China 2009, Red Bull's first victory by Sebastian Vettel

Red Bull returns to China where it won its first victory in Formula 1, just 10 years ago with Sebastian Vettel. Mark Webber's second position also completed the party, for what was also the first one-two for the Austrian team: in pouring rain, the German drove masterfully in front of his teammate, it was his second victory in Formula 1 after the incredible one obtained in Monza in 2008 with Toro Rosso. Embarrassment at the time of the national anthems, when the British anthem was played instead of the Austrian one for Red Bull, it was the first and last time.

“It was wonderful to go and get the builders' trophy, even it was broken because one of the handles was missing – said team principal Chris Horner. It was the right moment to look down and see the pride and emotion of the team: to see Helmut almost in tears, with all our men proud of what we had managed to achieve. Shanghai will always be a special place for Red Bull, in memory of our first victory."

Red Bull also won the latest edition of the Chinese Grand Prix thanks to Daniel Ricciardo's extraordinary performance last year.
