The Long Version
Minardi entered in 1985 and spent 21 seasons as the sport's most beloved minnow, scoring 38 points in total.
Red Bull bought the team in 2005 and renamed it Scuderia Toro Rosso as a junior outfit.
Sebastian Vettel won at Monza in 2008 in the wet — still one of the great upset victories.
Renamed AlphaTauri in 2020 as a fashion-brand vehicle, then Racing Bulls in 2024; Gasly won Monza 2020.
