(The other is Scuderia Toro Rosso). The team is managed by Christian Horner, boss of the Arden International GP2 Series team. The team is now competing with an Austrian licence having previously competed under the British flag.
Origins
Jaguar Racing was put up for sale in September 2004 when Ford decided "it [could] no longer make a compelling business case for any of its brands to compete in F1." Red Bull, a large energy drinks company, agreed its purchase of Jaguar Racing on the final day of the sale, 15 November 2004. BBC Sport reported that Ford asked bidders for a symbolic US$1 in return for a commitment to invest US$400 million in the team over three grand prix seasons.


Scuderia Toro Rosso
In the autumn of 2005, Red Bull announced that they'd purchased the Minardi Formula One team, and it would be known as Scuderia Toro Rosso (Italian for Team Red Bull) from 2006 onwards. Scuderia Toro Rosso (STR) operates as a separate team, but the two share certain technical resources. In 2006 STR used a chassis based on the 2005 Red Bull Racing Red Bull RB1 chassis, originally designed by Jaguar Racing, and Minardi's contracted supply of rev-limited V10 Cosworth engines. It has been widely speculated that the 2007 chassis for both teams will be essentially the same Adrian Newey design, although Red Bull has been careful to ensure that the "STR2 will be built by Red Bull Technologies, and Toro Rosso will fully own the intellectual rights of the car."(External Link) Formula One teams are not allowed to use another team's chassis. STR has been used as a 'B' team for Red Bull Racing, allowing the company to work with more drivers. In 2005 RBR driver Tonio Liuzzi was given a full time seat with Scuderia Toro Rosso alongside another Red Bull sponsored driver, Scott Speed.
   "Tonio" Liuzzi retained his seat in STR for the 2007 season. Sebastien Vettel replaced Speed in the middle of the 2007 season, and Sébastien Bourdais will replace Liuzzi at STR for the 2008 Formula One season.
