After Sebastian Vettel had already gained four World Champion titles (from 2010 to 2013), he drove in the 2014 season in the RB10, the successor to the RB9. The car was powered by a Renault 1.6l V6 turbocharged engine. His team mate was Daniel Ricciardo. The RB 10 was the tenth Formula One car from Red Bull Racing.

It achieved three victories in 2014 with Daniel Ricciardo and ended the season second in the World Constructors’ Championship.

The World Constructors’ Championship was won by Mercedes with the drivers Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg. Hamilton became the World Drivers’ Champion for the second time (after 2008).

After a long sabbatical, Mercedes returned to Formula One in 1993 as an engine supplier and, as of 2010, with its own works team. It had won its last World Championship (not yet called Formula One at the time) over 50 years earlier. The Mercedes works team won two World Champion titles in 1954 and 1955 with the Argentinian Juan Manuel Fangio.
