The RB VCARB 01 of Ricciardo at the 2024 Chinese Grand Prix
RB entered the 2024 F1 season with drivers Daniel Ricciardo and Yuki Tsunoda. The team continued using Honda RBPT power units, having used Honda-designed power units since the 2018 season when it was named Scuderia Toro Rosso.

Tsunoda bagged the team's first points in Australia, a season best P7, later matched in São Paulo and Miami. Also in Miami, Ricciardo secured a season best P4, though this was only a sprint race, and hence got just 5 points. Tsunoda's P8 in the sprint made the Miami Sprint their first double points of the season. In the 2024 Chinese Grand Prix, the team suffered a double retirement, caused by Haas's Kevin Magnussen crashing into Tsunoda and Ricciardo's rear being struck by Lance Stroll. Both drivers suffered major damage to their diffusers, with Ricciardo in particular being forced to retire a few laps later. Tsunoda suffered terminal rear-right damage and retired on the spot.

Ahead of the United States Grand Prix, Ricciardo was dropped and replaced by reserve driver Liam Lawson for the remainder of the season. Lawson immediately impressed, scoring points with a P9 finish in USGP. Later during the São Paulo Grand Prix, Tsunoda recorded his personal best qualifying by securing the P3 slot on the grid, which turned into a P7, and Lawson's P9 made it another double points finish. RB secured and overall 8th place finish in the Constructors' Championship with 46 points, to round off a mediocre campaign for the team.

The RB VCARB 02 of Hadjar at the 2025 Japanese Grand Prix
Racing Bulls retained Tsunoda for the 2025 season, with Lawson promoted to Oracle Red Bull Racing to replace the outgoing Sergio Pérez with his place being taken by F2 graduate and Red Bull Junior driver, Isack Hadjar. However, Lawson returned to Racing Bulls after two dissapointing Grands Prix with Red Bull, with Tsunoda being promoted up to the main team in his place ahead of the Japanese grand prix , where Isack Hadjar scored his first points. Hadjar had a consistent runs of points, which peaked with a P6 finish in Monaco, where Lawson's P8 made it the team's first double points. The team suffered a double DNF at the British Grand Prix due to collisions with other drivers.

At the 2025 Dutch Grand Prix, Hadjar managed to finish P3, for the team's 6th ever podium in history, their first as Racing Bulls and the last using Honda RBPT engines. This run of form continued when Lawson qualified a career best P3 at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, which he converted to a career best P5 finish. More strong results and double points followed in Las Vegas and São Paulo. Racing Bulls ended the season with a 6th place finish in the Constructors' standings with 92 points, their best season to date. Hadjar was praised by many for his consistency, and Lawson also received praise for bouncing back strongly after his demotion from Red Bull.

Racing Bulls and sister team Red Bull Racing decided to switch to Red Bull Ford Powertrains power units from 2026 onwards and thus concluded the eight-year long-standing alliance with Honda that powered the team since 2018 season under Scuderia Toro Rosso and Scuderia AlphaTauri brandings, and helping Ford return to Formula 1 for the first time since 2004. For the drivers, Racing Bulls retained Lawson, and signed Arvid Lindblad after a stellar campaign in F2, as Isack Hadjar was promoted to the main RedBull team.

Lindblad enjoyed a spectacular debut in Australia by finishing P8, scoring 4 points as Lawson was held back with a turbo issue. Lawson then finished 7th in both the sprint and the main race in China, followed by more points in Japan.
