Multiple World Champions and now a dominant force in Formula 1, it\\u2019s easy to forget Red Bull Racing\\u2019s humble beginnings back in 2005.
\\n\\n
They\\u2019ve produced F1 stars like Max Verstappen, Sebastian Vettel, Alex Albon and Pierre Gasly, but the first man to graduate from Red Bull\\u2019s junior programme and race for the team was Christian Klien. His time in the sport was shorter than hoped, reduced to test driver roles after just three years on the grid. But in faster cars, his talent may have been far more obvious.
\\n\\n
Speaking to Tom Clarkson, Christian reflects on his F1 venture - explaining why it didn\\u2019t last longer and how he knew it was time to leave the sport in 2010. He also talks about his former teammates, Mark Webber and David Coulthard, why Red Bull was renowned for being a party team, his thoughts on the 2023 season, and much more.
