Red Bull arrived on the 決まり文句／製法 One scene in 2005 with 態度. They threw parties like there was no tomorrow. Their image was fun and David Coulthard even grew designer stubble to 証明する it.

Now the team, based in Milton Keynes, are one of the competitors who could 勝利，勝つ the 開始 race of the season in Bahrain on Sunday and, かもしれない, go on to take the world 選手権.

Pre-season 実験（する）ing has を強調するd their pace, which is a match for Ferrari and McLaren and かもしれない gives them the 辛勝する／優位 over Mercedes. It has gone to show that last year’s 走者s-up place for Sebastian Vettel was not a flash in the 炭坑，オーケストラ席-小道／航路.

Wide awake: Webber (権利) and Vettel

So why the 変形? 重要な factors are that they are generously 基金d by Red Bull owner Dietrich Mateschitz, the Austrian drinks 有力者／大事業家, and have at the 舵輪／支配
two of the most astute 人物／姿／数字s in モーター racing.

The first is Christian Horner, the 36-year-old Midlander some thought of as little more than an amiable sixth-former when he took 支配（する）／統制する five years ago. But the doubters can
now see his steel and 実体.

Take the most 奮起させるd move he made, すなわち bringing in the other pivotal 人物／姿／数字: car designer 最高の, Adrian Newey, another Englishman.

Horner was aware of Newey 存在 unsettled at McLa ren and managed to entice him at the end of the 2005 season. It was some クーデター.

The shy Newey, 51, is a perfectionist, who still draws all his car designs on reams of paper. Outdated methods? Hardly when last year’s Red Bull was the fastest on the grid by the end, since when teams have tried to 会社にする／組み込む his aerodynamics into their own designs for this season.

‘Bringing in Adrian Newey was a big moment for us,’ said Horner, who touched 負かす／撃墜する in Bahrain with Newey at his 味方する last night. ‘Unlike when he joined McLaren and Williams, Red Bull were a very young team.

Steel and 実体: Christian Horner

‘McLaren and Williams had the 組織／基盤／下部構造, but they 欠如（する）d the technical direction. When Adrian plugged into those teams and gave that direction, success was 夜通し in the Nigel Mansell and Mika Hakkinen days.

‘When he （機の）カム to Red Bull, part of the attraction was to be 伴う／関わるd from the beginning and it took us a couple of years to get the 権利 strength in depth within the company. Even Adrian needs 支援する-up. Now, our （警察などへの）密告，告訴（状） tells us we are one of the
最高の，を越す three teams.’

There is a new stridency in Horner’s トン that 反映するs Red Bull’s growing significance. Behind his personable demeanour, he is not averse to toying with his 競争相手s.

He has questioned the 合法性 of McLaren’s 後部 勝利，勝つ g (which will be scrutinised today) and called into question whether the 欠如（する） of pace の中で the three new teams will
原因（となる） danger.

As for the drivers 伴う／関わるd, Horner has 配達するd a couple of carefully 目的（とする）d comments at McLaren’s stellar British team-mates Jenson Button and 吊りくさび Hamilton.

‘You’ve got the 現在の world 支持する／優勝者 and the previous world 支持する／優勝者 both trying to 支配する and it’s going to be 負かす／撃墜する to the team to manage that,’ he said. ‘I 疑問 very much whether Jenson has 調印するd to be No 2 driver, so he’s got a （疑いを）晴らす 客観的な.’

As for his own drivers, Vettel and 示す Webber are 設立するd, unlike at all their major 競争相手s. Vettel, the 22-year-old German, has 星／主役にする 質 and last year’s experience of 競うing for the 肩書を与える to help him.

‘We now have the 道具s to fight for the 選手権,’ 追加するd Horner. ‘That’s what the boss has said must be our 目的（とする）. So we had better do it.’

F1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone yesterday said that there will be a Rome Grand Prix in 2013 as part of a 20-race calendar.
