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[4] and its first 2004 Formula One outing was at the Circuit de Catalunya, Barcelona in pre-season testing.[5]

Jaguar used an updated R5B chassis for two races. Klien gave the B spec chassis its debut in China and Webber used it in Brazil.[6] The R5B had originally been taken to the Italian Grand Prix but was not used.[7][8] Webber drove the R5B in Japan during Friday practice, but due to the lack of running have to revert to the old car for the race.[9][10]
