Red Bull loses a battle but wins a war
Red Bull was defeated by McLaren in the US Grand Prix, but its third straight constructors' crown added to the squad's statistical accolades, as Michele Merlino reveals
Red Bull makes it three in a row
Red Bull won its third straight constructors' championship in Texas.
The squad becomes the first team to win three constructors' crowns in a row since Ferrari's run of six from 1999-2004. Prior to that, the last hat-trick was scored by Williams (1992-'94). And Williams and Red Bull had two common factors during their title-winning years: Renault engines and Adrian Newey.
Apart from Red Bull, Ferrari and Williams, only one other team has won three constructors' crowns in a row since the competition was introduced in 1958, and that is McLaren, which won four from 1988-1991. Ferrari also took another string of three between 1975 and '77.
