The Jaguar R5 was a Formula One racing car used by Jaguar Racing to contest the 2004 Formula One season. The R5 was the last chassis made by Jaguar Racing, before they became Red Bull Racing in 2005. The car was driven by Mark Webber and rookie Christian Klien[3] and its first 2004 Formula One outing was at the Circuit de Catalunya, Barcelona in pre-season testing.[4]
Jaguar used an updated R5B chassis for the two races. Klien gave the B spec chassis its debut in China and Webber Brazil.[5]
Formula 1
The car was relatively successful, with Webber scoring four points finishes including a sixth place at Hockenheim. Klien also proved reliable, retiring on only four occasions and managing sixth place at Spa-Francorchamps.
Jaguar finished seventh in their final Constructors' Championship, with 10 points. Jaguar's successor, Red Bull Racing, retained Klien for 2005, while Webber moved to Williams (only to later return to Red Bull).
Red Bull R5
When Red Bull bought the Jaguar team in November 2004, they had just a few days to come up with an all new livery in time for their first pre season tests. The livery was light blue and grey and resembled an energy drink can in colour.[6]
BOSS GP
The R5 made a second racing debut in BOSS GP, at the 2017 EuroBossGP championships. Driven by Klaas Zwart the car finished third behind two other previously retired Formula 1 cars.[7] It was later demolished due to a competitor's error.[8]
