On this day 1️⃣4️⃣ years ago: Red Bull Racing scored its maiden F1 Grand Prix win – here's how it went down 👇
The safety car sparked by debris from Jarno Trulli's Toyota was a mixed blessing for Red Bull. While it wiped away the advantage that had been built in the first stint, it ensured they would be able to revise their strategy to get home on two stops, putting them equal to the Brawns for strategy.
"I am very sorry for what happened," Vettel said."To be honest I was just taking care. I didn't want to run into the car in front of me."Vettel led the field away to the green flag, and quickly showed just how much stronger the Red Bull RB5 was than the Brawn in the wet conditions. Within a lap he had pulled out four seconds on Button. That gap would grow to over 25 seconds across the remainder of the stint as Button became more occupied with Webber behind.
After completing his final pit stop on lap 37, Vettel emerged just a couple of seconds behind Button. Not content to simply wait for the Brawn to pit, Vettel re-took the lead within four laps. Button came in one lap later, promoting Webber - who had also completed his final tyre change and fuel top-up - into second.
Webber was overwhelmed by the result in light of the driveshaft issue that had blighted its practice form. For Christian Horner, Red Bull's team principal, the result marked his first-ever visit to an F1 podium - and left him with an acquired taste he would want to satisfy more in the future.
