ORACLE RED BULL SIM RACING CROWNED BACK-TO-BACK WORLD CHAMPIONS
ORACLE RED BULL SIM RACING SUCCESSFULLY DEFENDED THE TEAMS’ TITLE, FURTHER WRITING HISTORY AS THE ONLY FOUR-TIME AND DOUBLE BACK-TO-BACK CHAMPIONS
Following a closely contested season of racing, Oracle Red Bull Sim Racing came out on top in the Teams’ standings for the second consecutive year, finishing on 227 points ahead of Alpine (224) and Ferrari (220).
In a title fight that came down to the wire, Jarno Opmeer delivered another sensational drive to bring home P3 for the Team, having started P13 at the Yas Marina Circuit.
Frederik Rasmussen, who had clinched Pole Position by just 0.001 seconds earlier that day, saw his race end in the closing stages after sustaining wing damage.
In addition to securing the Teams’ title, Oracle Red Bull Sim Racing celebrated a strong showing in the Drivers’ Championship, with Jarno and Frede finishing P3 and P4 on 114 and 113 points respectively.
The result secured Oracle Red Bull Sim Racing's fourth F1 Sim Racing Teams' Championship and made the Team the first in series history to win back-to-back titles on two separate occasions.
Morgan Ashurst, Esports Lead at Oracle Red Bull Racing, said: “We entered the 2026 season as the defending champions, with everything to lose. The Team are ecstatic to not only defend the title, but write history yet again as the first double back-to-back Teams' Champions. Frede and Jarno have been a formidable force on track, backed up by our incredible engineers Ondrej and Liam. Away from track, team management work hard to make everything possible, and the results speak for themselves. Now for some much-deserved rest before we turn our attention to the 2027 season and the new DLC!"
