Racing sages love to say that a team are only as good as their last race and Red Bull scored a one-two at Abu Dhabi. The German, then still a teenager, was caught by the television cameras blubbering in the Toro Rosso pits. That'll be Aussie Mark Webber, who in 07 missed out on what could have been a debut victory when Sebastian Vettel punted them both out of the Japanese grand prix. Team principal Christian Horner is playing up the fact that of the big four teams theirs is the only one to have retained both drivers. But if you view the glass of sickly energy drink as half empty, then they failed to win either title with arguably the best car on the track. The leap from seventh in the 2008 standings to runners-up last year was a giant stride.
