Red Bull Team Principal Christian Horner Q
Grandprix.com - News &bull Feb 6, 2012
The main reason for our achievements is teamwork. It's quite simply the group of people that are here at Red Bull Racing and Red Bull Technology working as one unit. That's obviously taken time to evolve, but we've evolved quickly. We're still a young team and to consider the four world titles we've won in only seven seasons of competition is something we're fiercely proud of and determined to add to.

Grandprix.com - News &bull Feb 3, 2012
Last winter there was a major change of philosophy and it paid off with a stronger second half of the season. What's has been the plan with the VJM05? The approach is to use that foundation and carry on building on it. We have a lot more confidence in the aerodynamics we put on the car now, compared to previous years.
