Red Bull Racing has unveiled the first of three fan-designed liveries for the 2023 season, and it's an eye-catching design that's sure to turn heads. The new livery will be seen on the track for the first time at the Miami Grand Prix this weekend.
The reigning world champions announced earlier this year that they would run three fan-penned designs across the campaign, at Miami, Austin, and Las Vegas. After thousands of entries, graphic design student Martina Andriano was chosen as the winner, with her creation adding flashes of pink, blue, and purple to Red Bull's traditional color scheme.
Red Bull Team Principal Christian Horner led the judging panel, which also included representatives from the team's Partners. Horner said, "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. It's important to the team to be able to involve our fans in what we do and give them unique opportunities like this."
The winning design keeps the ethos of who Red Bull Racing is but introduces Miami to the RB19 as well. "We are definitely going to stand out when you see that car on track," Horner said. "I'm intrigued to see what people come up with for Austin and of course Las Vegas – that promises to be really exciting."
Designer and winner Andriano said she was "shocked and speechless" when she found out she'd won. "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."
The new livery will be a dream come true for Andriano, who will be in the garage when the car hits the track. "This is going to be my first ever 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," she said.
It's not just Andriano who's excited about the new livery, as fans around the world are eagerly anticipating seeing the RB19 in action with its new design. The Miami Grand Prix promises to be a thrilling event, with the new Red Bull livery adding even more excitement to the proceedings.
