"He is the reason that we are here. The company started by buying Austrian club SV Austria Salzburg in 2005 and rebranding it in the company colors under the name Red Bull Salzburg.

For the whole team now, despite the shock, we're going to do exactly what he would have wanted, which is to go there with his cars and do the very best that we can, and try to close this constructor's championship (title) down. But, he didn’t stop there." Red Bull driver Verstappen has already secured the drivers' title for a second straight season. The Austrian Servus TV station, owned by Red Bull Media House GmbH, is known for promoting right-wing provocative views.

Mohammed Ben Sulayem, president of motor sports governing body FIA, said Mateschitz was "a towering figure in motor sport." "The thoughts of all the FIA family are with his loved ones at this time and he will be greatly missed. In 2004, he bought the racing venue in Spielberg, Austria, that would eventually be known as Red Bull Ring, launching renovations and renaming the venue before it reopened in 2011." Mateschitz gained fame as the public face of Red Bull, an Austrian-Thai conglomerate that says it sold nearly 10 billion cans of its caffeine and taurine-based drink in 172 countries worldwide last year. Mateschitz not only helped the energy drink become popular around the world, but also built up a sports, media, real estate and gastronomy empire around the brand. With the growing success of Red Bull, he significantly expanded his investments in sports. The team is now on the verge of another constructors title, which would come on the heels of Max Verstappen’s 2021 and ’22 driver titles.com/AP_Sports AP NEWS.

Under Mateschitz' stewardship, Red Bull quickly increased its market share, first in Europe, then in the United States, helped by marketing campaigns promoting the drink's claimed stimulating properties and extensive sponsorship agreements in motorsports, soccer, extreme sports and the music industry. The Red Bull Racing team has enjoyed success in Formula 1, winning the constructors' championship in 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013, while German driver Sebastian Vettel won four drivers' championships in row while signed to the team.

It repeated the move in Germany, where it bought fifth-tier club SSV Markranstdt in 2009, rebranded it as RasenBallsport Leipzig, and financed its steady progress through the league system till it was promoted to the Bundesliga in 2016. German league regulations prevented the company from naming the team Red Bull Leipzig - its name in German, RasenBallsport, means "grass ball sport Leipzig" but the club just refers to itself as RB Leipzig. Mateschitz also made headlines for his populist views.

Mateschitz bought the Jaguar Racing team from previous owner Ford at the end of 2004 and rebranded it as Red Bull for the 2005 season. Later that year, he then also bought Minardi and renamed it Toro Rosso, astutely using the team as a feed team for Red Bull.
