Number 4. Red Bull RB7
In 2010, Red Bull was embroiled in a fierce battle for dominance, but the following season proved to be a much more dominant affair, especially for Sebastian Vettel. The introduction of Pirelli tires, the ban on double diffusers, and the confidence gained from winning his first title seemed to propel the German driver to new heights in 2011, and the RB7 proved to be a worthy successor to its predecessor.
The car’s quality and consistency were evident throughout the year, with only one retirement each for drivers Mark Webber and Vettel, and never finishing outside the top five when they did finish a race. Vettel finished off the podium only once all season, at P4 in Germany. This level of dominance was truly remarkable.
