Opportunity And Scrutiny

Outback Performance, the only Australian Formula 1 team currently in the competition, had been the country's sole representative for generations now.

Just like their unique nationality, their name was outstandingly unique as well, reflecting the vast and tough terrain of the country.

'Performance'—such a distinguished last name—was rarely used throughout all divisions, which inadvertently turned into one of their nicknames.

1x Team World Champions and 3x Top 5 Finishers, Outback Performance really outdid themselves in the last generation, but not this one.

Being the first team to host a Red Bull engine and chassis, it was reasonable their early days were impressive. But as Bueseno Velocità became team number 2 under the provisions of Red Bull, their progress was subtly shortened because they now shared the same F1 car level.
