Gentlemen, start your engines. The Oracle Red Bull Racing Team — aka the world’s top Formula 1 racing team — debuted the newest design for its RB19 vehicle via helicopter.
With No. 1 and No. 2 Formula 1 drivers Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez in attendance, the team flew the fan-designed vehicle to the Oracle campus, 2300 Oracle Way, on Wednesday to a crowd of cheering fans.
Chosen out of 2,000+ submissions, the new design was created by 39-year-old Argentinian graphic designer Franco Cavallone, who took inspiration from the Texas’ Lone Star Flag. Cavallone will be able to see his design in action from the track at the US Grand Prix this weekend.
This is the second time this season the team has converted its car into a canvas as part of its Make Your Mark campaign, which will crown another winner for the first-ever F1 Las Vegas Grand Prix.
