our

best.

1. Camobull

Special Car Livery: Camobull

Car: RB11

Year: 2015

Normally, the Team would have a car launch, but in 2015 we surprised everyone at winter testing in Jerez, Spain when we lifted up the garage doors to unveil the RB11 in its CamoBull or ‘dazzle’ paint scheme.

It was inspired from car manufacturers when they’re road testing new, yet to be launched, cars. It helps hide the lines and definitive shape of the car, which also meant at winter testing our rivals couldn’t work out what we’d done to the car for the 2015 season. Obviously, we’d put a Red Bull spin on it to make it an instant classic.

2. DisruptoBull

Special Car Livery: DisruptoBull

Car: RB14

Year: 2018

This spectacular livery was run at Silverstone at the start of the 2018 season before the team headed off to Barcelona for the first pre-season test.

The style was similar to a digital-effect camouflage in royal blue and black. It received so much attention across social media that there were calls to make this one-off livery the one we used for the entire season. We still love it so much, that we have one painted in this livery at the entrance of MK-7!

3. Chevrons

Special Car Livery: Chevrons

Car: RB15

Year: 2019

As with DisruptoBull the following year the Team’s filming day launched the RB15 with another one-off livery. Again, it collected a lot of love on social. This was also the first Red Bull Racing car to be powered by a Honda engine.

The livery, which wasn’t given an official name, had a stunning dark blue matte finish with bright red chevrons over the car. When Max first saw the livery at Silverstone, he said: “The car looks cool. The livery is very beautiful, even though it’s only for today.”

4. Wings

For

Life

Faces

Special Car Livery: Wings For Life

Car: RB3

Year: 2007

Wings For Life has had a long association with Red Bull Racing and has been the Team’s official charity for many years. Wings For Life is a spinal cord research foundation with the aim of finding a cure for spinal cord injury.

And back in 2007 for the British Grand Prix, the Team and Wings For Life offered people the chance to have their face on the RB3. More than 30,000 photos were used on the RB3 including DC’s parents, Mark Webber’s pet donkeys, ex-England cricketer Freddie Flintoff and some ultrasound images of yet unborn F1 fans. The fundraiser collected more than a million dollars for the charity.

5. Welcome

Matte

Special Car Livery: Welcome Matte

Car: RB11

Year: 2016

After 11 seasons with a metallic livery, the Team made a drastic and eye-catching change for the RB11 with a matte finish on the paint work. It was also the first season we partnered with PUMA so there was an overhaul of everything looking stylish. There was a pattern in the drivers suits and teamwear called the ‘stampede’, which added to the overall look.

The new matte finish saw F1 forums light up with people speculating if the matte finish would offer any aerodynamic advantage, but as someone said: “Red Bull never do anything without a damn good reason!”
