Drivers that Red Bull dropped midway through an F1 season

During Red Bull's debut Formula 1 season in 2005, the team employed an unconventional driver rotation method.

David Coulthard was the main driver allowed to race all-year round, but Helmut Marko came up with the idea of alternating Christian Klien and Vitantonio Liuzzi.

Liuzzi did rounds four to seven of the season, but the Italian did not return to Red Bull after that as they went with Klien for the rest of the season. However, Liuzzi did return on the grid with Toro Rosso the following season.
