Red Bull claim teams title amid NZ boos

Red Bull Holden Racing Team have put a controversial weekend behind them, claiming a history-making teams championship in New Zealand and aiming for another drivers title this month.

The series resumes in Newcastle in just over a fortnight where 2016 winner and Red Bull driver Shane van Gisbergen will look to deny DJR Team Penske upstart Scott McLaughlin his first championship.

The margin could barely be tighter between the two - just 14 points - the equivalent of two top-order positions in a race.

But there's no competition when it comes to the teams championship, where Red Bull have claimed an incredible ninth title in 11 seasons.
