If you’re a Red Bull Racing engineer, crew member or even the person charged with sweeping the shop floor, then you’re probably nursing a pretty big hangover as I write this—maybe even waking up next to a charming Red Bull beauty. 

And rightfully so, because that is how the 2010 Formula 1 Constructors' Champions should celebrate.

If you’re Mark Webber or Sebastian Vettel, then you were probably at the same party, sitting in the corner, stone sober, wondering what could have been if you hadn’t hit the wall in Korea, taken each other out in Turkey or how many engine failures you might not have had if your team had secured Mercedes power like they tried to at the beginning of the season.

The Constructors’ Championship doesn’t get the love it deserves. This is the one time in Formula 1 where teammates have to act as teammates.

The term teammate has always been somewhat of juxtaposition in Formula 1. Think about it. This is one of the few sports where teammates can both win and lose at the same time.

But with the Constructors’ Championship, teammates have to put their own personal goals aside in favor of the greater organization. This isn’t just another trophy for the shop. This is worth far more. Not only do you get the first pit garage at each Grand Prix in 2011, but your team will also take home the biggest slice of Bernie Eccelstone’s lucrative global TV contract.

This is money that can go a long way in the next car’s R&D budget.

Winning the Constructors’ Championship gives Christian Horner the right to tell all the team bosses in the next FOCA meeting that his two drivers are better than everyone else’s pair.

If you were to say this to Fernando Alonso, though, he would probably fire back that, based on the Drivers’ Championship, he alone is better than Red Bull’s pair.
