Red Bull eyes 200 after winning 100th grand prix

MONTREAL : As Red Bull celebrated a landmark 100th Formula One win at the Canadian Grand Prix on Sunday, a reflective team principal Christian Horner recalled thinking that he might have been satisfied with one victory.

Now at 100 wins the thirst for victory remains unquenched.

Red Bull becomes just the fifth team to amass 100 grand prix wins joining Ferrari, McLaren, Mercedes and Williams.

Only Ferrari have won more than 200 and that number is the new target mentioned by Horner and the team's double world champion Max Verstappen, who delivered the milestone Canadian victory.

"I think for us we've broken into a fairly elite club of over 100 (wins)," said Horner. "It's phenomenal and we're only just going really.

"We're still young - we achieved that first victory in 2009. Obviously have achieved a lot in that period and hopefully we can keep going and achieve another 100."

While the wins have flowed like water from tap with Red Bull drivers taking top spot on the podium in 17 of the last 18 grand prix, including all eight this season, success was not always part of the team's DNA.

After the energy drink company took over Jaguar in 2005 and became Red Bull it would be four more years before Sebastian Vettel would give them their first victory at the China Grand Prix.

"I remember collecting the trophy that day, getting on the plane to go home that evening and thinking, 'Well at least we've won one,'" recalled Horner. "'If nothing else happens we've won a race.' But it felt so good it was like well you want to feel that again.

"Who would have thought 99 victories later we'd achieve our century.

"It's a landmark for the team. It's a testament to the dedication and hard work of all the people within the company."
