Red Bull has revealed a striking new look ahead of the Miami Grand Prix. The Milton Keynes-based outfit handed over design duties to fans in the 'Make your Mark' competition, providing an opportunity for those part of their 'The Paddock' free loyalty membership the chance to dictate the livery direction for all three United States-based races this year. Only six one-off liveries have been run by Red Bull in F1 with the last coming in the form of the predominantly white Honda tribute in 2021 at the Turkish Grand Prix. The judging panel, made up of Team Principal Christian Horner, representatives from Title Partner Oracle as well as Bybit and Mobil 1, decided upon a pink, blue and purple design created by graphic design student Martina Andriano, who has been flown to Miami to experience a weekend trackside with the team. “The Make Your Mark initiative is great, to give our fans the opportunity to influence our design at the three USA races is something you just don’t see other teams doing," said Horner. "It’s important to the Team to be able to involve our fans in what we do and give them unique opportunities like this. "I think Martina, has done a great job and the livery looks incredible when you see it in real life. The design keeps the ethos of who we are but introduces Miami to the RB19 as well. We are definitely going to stand out when you see that car on track. "I’m intrigued to see what people come up with for Austin and of course Las Vegas, that promises to be really exciting.”
Andriano added: “The moment when I found out I’d won I was shocked and speechless, I couldn’t believe it - it feels like a crazy dream. "The first thing I thought about when I started my design was how the air flows through and over the car, then how it moves and how fast it is and that is where my inspiration came from. "Then, of course, I wanted to represent Miami and Miami’s race so all of that was the inspiration. Since I started studying my degree in graphic design I wanted to design something for a car, like a livery, a suit or a helmet, and even before that I knew that one day I wanted to work in Formula 1 so getting this opportunity from Oracle Red Bull Racing is something huge. "This is going to be my first race, the car is going to have my design and I’m going to be in the garage. It’s going to be an amazing week.”
