Since there was a major controversy about the in 2009, it is possible that this image was taken from that year as well and also the reason why Vettel used such a caption.

The teams part of the controversy were Brawn, Williams, and Toyota. The rival teams lobbied against the design which the FIA pronounced legal after careful scrutiny. Red Bull, owing to a number of technical difficulties, were the most disadvantaged as they found it difficult to adapt. Sebastian Vettel and Adrian Newey were a partnership made in heaven Owing to a clever interpretation of the regulations and an innovative craft, Brawn won the championship in the 2009 season.

However, just a year later, it was Red Bull who began their era of domination. Sebastian Vettel helped Red Bull win their first championship in 2010. He also won the Drivers’ title himself by defeating Fernando Alonso by just four points. Alonso faced another blow the next year when Vettel successfully defended his title to become the youngest double world champion.

Alonso held the honor before him. Vettel and Red Bull’s undefeated run continued for two more years as the German and the team also won both championships in 2012 and 2013.

Red Bull failed to adapt to the new regulations until 2021, a year in which registered his first championship win. The Milton Keynes outfit, however, failed to bag the Constructors’ Championship that season. The current ground effect era, however, has played perfectly into Newey’s hands. Not only is he among the remaining few engineers from F1’s original ground effect era, but he has also written a university thesis on the phenomenon.

The result of that is in front of the F1 fans. The Austrian team has now won two consecutive Constructors’ Championships and have also been breaking records effortlessly. Advertisement.
