The Red Bull family experienced several driver changes in its opening years in Formula 1, with one former driver pinning his exit on a 10-time race winner.
Former Red Bull driver Vitantonio Liuzzi has accused Formula 1 legend Gerhard Berger of being responsible for shortening his F1 career. Liuzzi raced for Red Bull in four races during the 2005 season, then secured a full-time seat with Toro Rosso in the following year. He scored Toro Rosso’s sole points in the 2006 United States Grand Prix. Despite his success, Liuzzi was replaced by Sebastien Bourdais for the 2008 season, allegedly due to Berger’s support for the French driver. Feeling betrayed, Liuzzi later joined Force India for the 2009 season before moving to HRT in 2011, which marked his final season in F1. Ultimately, Liuzzi’s career trajectory was altered by the influence of Gerhard Berger and internal team dynamics within Red Bull.
