Formula One triple world champion Sebastian Vettel has extended his contract with Red Bull Racing for at least two more years. Vettel, now 25, won his three successive world championships with Red Bull Racing, and, considering his performance so far this season, the German youngster could soon be celebrating his fourth with the Milton Keynes-based team. He currently leads the 2013 F1 Drivers' Championship with 132 points, 36 more than the next highest-ranked driver. A previous member of the Red Bull Junior squad, Vettel first drove for Red Bull Racing in 2009. He started his F1 career as a...

Red Bull Racing To Aid Future Infiniti Performance Models

At a special gala event held at Red Bull Racing’s headquarters in Milton Keynes, England, the team’s new race car for the 2013 FIA Formula One World Championship was unveiled. On hand to pull the covers were the team’s drivers, Sebastian Vettel, now a triple world champion, and Mark Webber. In RBR tradition, the new race car carries the RB9 designation and, as these photos reveal, the controversial stepped-nose design from last year’s car remains. That shouldn’t come as much of a surprise considering the similarities between the regulations this year, and the...

Formula One racing will return to the U.S. at November’s United States Grand Prix in Austin, Texas. It’s been five years since F1 cars last competed on U.S. soil, at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, so there’s a lot riding on the success of the event and the enthusiasm of U.S. race fans.
