DREAM SCENE
20 Years of Red Bull in Racing
1/

DREAM SCENE
Oracle Red Bull Racing commissioned international sports artist Jamie Cooper to create a dynamic artwork that
endeavoured to capture the rich history, spirit, and culture of our beloved racing Team. This weighty task has been
three years in the making, lifting the veil on a magical Grand Prix garage scene that features people and moments
that tell a story of 20 years of Red Bull’s culture in racing. The following pages take us on a journey through this
iconic painting, revealing the many stories woven into the scene.
It’s an honour to be entrusted with the responsibility of producing
an artwork of this significance. As a former professional athlete in
Australia, I have a deep understanding of the connection between
fans and their team; a connection that goes way beyond the
boundaries, in this case, of the racetrack. It is a family... a community.
I‘ve spent 35 years honing this skill, creating unique artworks for
many of the world’s largest sporting organisations. My speciality
has been producing paintings in which I painstakingly piece together
hundreds of images from different times, to create one impossible
yet believable ‘Dream Scene’.
As Formula One fans, wouldn’t we love to walk amongst them, as
they celebrate the greatest race of all.
Well, come with me and imagine if you will…

Andy Damerum gives some feedback to Dave Boys as
David Coulthard’s RB1 leaves the 2007 garage.
Andy Damerum RED BULL ADVANCED
TECHNOLOGIES 2003 – Current
Andy joined as an Electronics Engineer in 2003 before moving on to
Race Engineering as Performance Engineer in 2004, working with the
drivers and the Team to turn feedback into performance gains across
the course of the Grand Prix weekends. At the factory, he runs the
simulator programme, looking after driver development for the Team.
Dave Boys Race Team Build Manager
1999 - CURRENT
Dave rose through the ranks from club racing and junior series all
the way to F1 where he joined as a mechanic working with hydraulic
assemblies and sub-assembly of components. In addition to a spell
as Chief Mechanic, Technician in R&D and then the Management of
Sub-Assembly, Hydraulics and Carbuild departments he eventually took
on responsibility for the whole-car build, and he’s been doing that for
more than half the Team’s time in F1.

Tony Burrows watches on as Peter Prodromou tests the aerodynamic qualities of Ferrari Trento
as it splashes off Olly Hughes’ back. Olly is placed under the Oracle sign as he was pivotal in
securing that title partnership.
Tony Burrows Heritage Team
Manager 1997 – Current
Tony’s time stretches back to the days of Stewart Grand Prix where he was
Mechanic/Chief Mechanic from 1997-2000, and where he worked with Max
Verstappen’s dad, Jos! Many years later after a title-winning trackside
career with Red Bull Racing, Tony took on the role of Heritage Team
Manager in 2020. His job is to take F1 to the World, running some of the
Team’s most successful cars in spectacular locations for people who might
otherwise never get to see F1 in person.
Peter Prodromou Chief
Aerodynamicist 2006 - 2014
Peter was Chief Aerodynamicist at McLaren until Adrian Newey made
the move from Woking to Red Bull Racing ahead of the 2006 season.
He persuaded ‘Prod’ to make the move too, and together they began a
design revolution in Milton Keynes, starting with the RB3 and then most
notably with the RB5. This is the car that carried the Team to its first win
in 2009 and gave rise to a generation of cars that carried the Team to four
straight titles between 2010 and 2013.
Joanna Fleet Group HR Director
2013 – CURRENT
Over the past two decades, Red Bull Racing’s rise to the top of the sport
has been people-powered. For half of this time, leading the way has been
Joanna Fleet. With the growth of the Team, Red Bull Advanced Technologies,
and the birth of Red Bull Powertrains, Jo’s role now encompasses the whole
Technologies Group. In 2022, she got to join Max on the podium to celebrate
his win at that year’s Spanish Grand Prix.
Craig Skinner Chief Designer
2006 – CURRENT
Craig joined as a CFD engineer when the Team was rapidly expanding its
reliance on computational fluid dynamics. During his time in this role he
played a key part in the development of the blown diffusers that helped
the Team to four world titles between 2010 and 2013. After eight years in a
CFD role he became the Team’s Deputy Head of Aero in 2014 and then Chief
Aerodynamicist in 2018. In 2022, he became Chief Designer with a key role
in the current title-winning lineage of cars.
Oliver Hughes Chief Marketing
Officer 2017 – CURRENT
Olly’s career began in 2006 with connectivity company Three before
moving to the world of video games in 2009 with Electronic Arts. After
becoming Head of International Marketing there, he then switched from
virtual battles to real world competition by joining Red Bull Racing in
2017. Since then, he’s built the Team into a partnership and marketing
powerhouse with huge partners such as Oracle joining the charge. The
bubbles he’s spraying are from the 2023 Miami Grand Prix when Olly
joined Max and Checo on the podium to pick up the Constructors’ Trophy
after a crushing 1-2 win.

Various figures from behind the scenes are given the privilege
of being on the podium to hold aloft a trophy on race day.
This recognises the vital contribution that the entire Team
makes to the success on the track. Here, Olaf Janssen holds
up the Constructors’ Trophy in Abu Dhabi, 2022. Rob Reeve
holds the corresponding trophy in Bahrain in 2023 while
Ben Gordon-Smith enjoys the honour in Montreal, 2022.
Olaf Janssen Trackside
Infrastructure IT Group Leader
2005 – 2022
Olaf headed-up the Team’s trackside infrastructure operation from the
Team’s genesis right through to the end of the 2022 campaign. This involved
everything to do with connectivity, from a malfunctioning laptop to the pipe
that carried the terabytes of car data back to the factory.
Rob Reeve Electronics Support
Group Leader 2015 - CURRENT
Rob brought a wealth of F1 experience to trackside car builds and
optimisation. ‘We have races where we’re nursing issues, asking a driver to
do certain things to make sure the car gets to the end of the race,’ he says.
‘It’s nicer to have a quiet race where everything just works!’
Ben Gordon-Smith
General Counsel &
Business Legal Affairs
2016 – CURRENT
Ben has had the Team’s back since 2016.
Previously Ben looked after several global sports
brands and sports organisations before being
brought in by Red Bull Racing to look after F1’s
increasingly complex legal ecosystem. It’s not
just the legal side of the sport’s financial rules
that keeps Ben busy. With the title of Head of
Business Affairs added to the nameplate on his
office door, he also looks after the legal side of
Red Bull partnerships.

2007
GARAGE
The Team’s first car, RB1, leaves the garage… but who is driving it? Over the page you will see that DC looks somewhat
bemused as the helmet suggests that Christian Klein might be taking his car for a spin! This is what we call... artistic license.
7/

Max and DC are paired together to symbolise
the timespan in this scene. The first Red Bull
Racing driver and the current World Champion
driver share stories of their respective eras.
DC looks particularly animated and Max cradles
his first Grand Prix winning trophy from Spain
in 2016.
Max Verstappen DRIVER
2016 – CURRENT
Max is quite simply one of the greatest F1 drivers in
history. After joining the Red Bull Junior Programme in
2014, he started his F1 career with Scuderia Toro Rosso
in 2015 as the youngest driver ever to start a Grand Prix.
He was then called up to Red Bull Racing for the 2016
Spanish Grand Prix which he won at just 18 years of age.
That’s the trophy he’s cradling here, though he’s wearing
the race suit from his record-breaking 2023 title win. Since
then, he has gone on to take three world titles, with wins,
poles and podium numbers continuing to grow. He holds
a catalogue of records including most wins in a season
(19), most consecutive wins in a season (10), and the most
points scored in a season (575).
David Coulthard DRIVER
2005 – 2008
DC was Red Bull Racing’s first driver and first ever podium
finisher. He came to the team in 2005 as a proven winner,
with 13 Grand Prix victories from his time with Williams and
McLaren. In a four-season run with the Bulls, DC finished
fourth in the Team’s very first race, the 2005 Australian
Grand Prix, at the wheel of the RB1. In a solid first season
for the new outfit, DC scored 24 points in total. The following
season, he handed the Team a spectacular first podium with
a battling third at the 2006 Grand Prix in Monaco. DC finally
hung up his helmet at the end of 2008, but to acknowledge
his pivotal contribution and the regard in which he’s held,
he’s been a Team ambassador ever since.

GP is looking quite sternly at Max, no doubt giving
him the honest feedback that he has become
famous for. Note the drumsticks in his hand.
Gianpiero Lambiase
Head of Race Engineering
2014 – CURRENT
GianPiero ‘GP’ Lambiase joined Red Bull Racing from Force India
in 2014 ahead of the 2015 season, working with Daniil Kyvat.
However, when the Russian driver moved to Toro Rosso ahead of
the 2016 Spanish Grand Prix, GP took on the task of engineering
his highly regarded young replacement – Max Verstappen. The
pair have become one of F1’s most famous double acts, as a very
close but honest relationship was formed between the two, and
GP was pivotal in helping secure Max’s three world titles. It’s a
little-known fact that GP spent many of his formative years as
a drummer for indie almost-sensation, Torperstate, hence being
pictured with his drumsticks here!
9/

People who have specific relationships or who have shared moments together have been
paired up in this Dream Scene. That’s why Darren Nicholls holds the bubbles with Mark Webber.
They shared the podium in Hungary in 2010, as did Kenny Handkammer and Mark in Monaco
the same year.
Darren Nicholls
Team Mechanic
1996 - 2013
Back in the day, the man responsible for
releasing a car was lollipop man and garage
guru Darren Nicholls. Darren helped the Team
to a slew of fastest pit stop times which, by
extension, resulted in many wins. A great Red
Bull Racing moment for him was when he got to
climb on the podium with Mark Webber to pick up
the trophy at the Hungarian Grand Prix in 2010.
Mark Webber DRIVER
2007 – 2013
‘Aussie Grit’ spent two seasons with Jaguar
and two with Williams before joining Red Bull
Racing in 2007. The partnership was immediately
successful with Mark taking a podium at the
European Grand Prix. In 2009, Mark really began
to shine. Despite having suffered serious injuries
in a bike crash at the end of the previous year,
he showed exceptional courage to take his first
F1 win at the 2009 German Grand Prix. In 2010,
Mark launched a genuine Championship bid. He
was in contention right up to the final round
in Abu Dhabi, only just losing out to teammate
Sebastian Vettel. He decided to call time on his
F1 career at the end of 2013. He finished racing
for good at the end of 2016 and he has become
one of F1’s most respected broadcasters.
Kenny Handkammer Chief Mechanic
2006 - 2014
‘Chief Bolt’ Kenny joined the Team from Renault in 2006. Kenny brought huge experience to the role
of Chief Mechanic, and, working alongside Team Manager Jonathan Wheatley, he helped make the pit
crew the best in the business. This culminated in F1’s first sub-two-second pit stop in Austin, 2013.

IN THE GARAGE
Shanghai Surprise
The Team’s first pole, first win, and the first 1-2 finish
came in a rain-affected blur at the 2009 Chinese Grand
Prix... but it almost didn’t happen. On the Saturday, a drive
shaft problem threatened to rule Seb out of qualifying.
In the end, the Team worked a fix that would allow him a
single lap per session and in three blistering-hot laps he
secured a brilliant pole under extreme pressure. He didn’t
let the opportunity on the Sunday slide either, when he
and Mark delivered perfect performances in tricky wet
conditions to score an epic 1-2 finish.
Duel in the Desert
The 2021 Championship was one of the most
intense and hardest-fought in living memory.
After a season-long struggle between Max Verstappen
and Lewis Hamilton, it went down to the wire at the
final round in Abu Dhabi. Thanks to a late Safety Car,
Max was vaulted back into contention in the race.
On fresh tyres he powered past Hamilton on the
final lap to take the win. This was his first Drivers’
Championship trophy.
Henry takes one
for the Team
The RB10 got off to a troubled start during
testing in 2014. Power unit problems and
a difficult installation caused overheating
issues, even leading to fire on a couple of
occasions. The solution? A humble vacuum
cleaner! As Chief Designer Rob Marshall
explained: ‘We fashioned some makeshift
cooling ducts to help keep the fire at bay.
The only bit of tubing we had to hand was
the spout on our Henry Hoover. Next day
Henry’s spout did help and shed some light
on what we needed to do to fix the problem
properly for Melbourne... but keeping the
garage clean was difficult!’
Home Bull Run
Max and Daniel were on the podium in 2017
but it took until 2018 for Red Bull Racing to
score a win on home soil. It was Max who
took the winner’s trophy.
Going nuts in Brazil
There was no stopping the Team in 2010. With
Seb and Mark both putting together sustained
Championship charges, the Team’s first Constructors’
trophy arrived at the Brazilian Grand Prix where
Seb took the win and Mark made it a 1-2.
11/

In 2019 the Team left fans shaken not stirred at
the British Grand Prix with a one-off livery that
celebrated the world of James Bond to coincide
with F1’s 1007th race. See what they did there?
In keeping with the vibe, Dr Marko also posed for
a picture carrying a white cat.
Dr Helmut Marko ADVISOR
2005 – CURRENT
Helmut is a former F1 driver and Le Mans winner, as well as being a
contemporary of Jochen Rindt and Niki Lauda. He has been at the centre
of Austrian motorsport for more than 50 years and has been an advisor
to the Team since the earliest days of the company. A close confidant of
Dietrich Mateschitz, Helmut was instrumental in bringing Red Bull Racing
to the F1 grid and has played a key role in the Team’s development ever
since. In parallel, Helmut has run the Red Bull Junior Programme since
its inception. From podium finishers and race winners such as Daniil
Kvyat, Alex Albon, Daniel Ricciardo, Carlos Sainz, and Pierre Gasly, plus
two world champions in Sebastian Vettel and Max Verstappen, Helmut
has brought a generation of talent to Red Bull Racing and to the F1 grid.

Guillaume Rocquelin Head of
Driver Academy 2006 – CURRENT
‘Rocky’ initially worked as David Coulthard’s Race Engineer, but when
DC retired at the end of 2008 he started to work with a bright young
star from whom great things were expected. Over the following six
seasons Rocky would guide Sebastian Vettel to 38 wins (including the
2013 Canadian GP trophy he’s holding here) and four Drivers’ titles,
as well as helping the Team to four Constructors’ titles. In 2015, he
stepped up to become the Team’s Head of Race Engineering. Since
2022, Rocky has overseen building the future of Oracle Red Bull Racing
as Head of the Team’s Driver Academy.
As of the start of the 20th season celebrations,
Seb remains one of only five drivers in F1 history to
have won four or more Drivers’ titles (see the 4 stars
on his helmet), and he won them all in a Red Bull
Racing car. Seb’s trademark victory celebration of
raising his right index finger in the air was a feature
of his whole F1 career.
Sebastian Vettel DRIVER
2009 – 2014
Vettel defined an era at the Team. He was Red Bull Racing’s first race
winner, first champion, and until the arrival of Max, most regular
winner. Seb joined Toro Rosso in 2007, took his first race win at the
2008 Italian Grand Prix and then in 2009 brought Red Bull Racing
its first win at the Chinese Grand Prix. Over the course of 2009, Seb
brought home five wins. In 2010, he became F1’s youngest Champion
after coming out on top at the end of a remarkable four-way title fight
at the season-ending Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. He is depicted celebrating
that win with a bubbles-drenched Dr Marko. Over the following three
years, Seb proved to be unstoppable, racking up four titles. In total,
he took 38 wins for the Team across a remarkable six seasons.
13/

Pierre Waché Technical Director
2013 – CURRENT
Pierre’s career began at Michelin where he studied the interaction
between track surfaces and the rubber of Michelin’s Formula 1 tyres.
He then spent six years with BMW-Sauber before joining Red Bull
Racing in 2013. Initially working as Chief Engineer - Performance
Engineering, he gradually took on more responsibility and by 2018
he’d become Technical Director. Pierre has played a key role in the
Team’s latest phase of competitive superiority, starting with RB16B,
then the hugely successful RB18, and its successors RB19 and RB20.
In a nod to his motorsport origins, he’s depicted sitting on a tyre.
Jonathan Wheatley Sporting
Director 2006 – CURRENT
Since 2006, Jonathan has been
instrumental in the Race Team’s
development and success. The most
visible evidence is the Team’s incredible
prowess in pit stops. Relentlessly pursuing
perfection, Jonathan’s work with the
crew resulted in an amazing 1.92 stop
for Mark Webber at the US Grand Prix in
2013. That seemed an impossible marker
to beat, but in 2019 the Team broke its own record with a 1.91 at the
British Grand Prix, 1.88 in Spain, and then a remarkable 1.82 in Brazil.
Under his guidance, the Team has taken a staggering six overall DHL
Fastest Pit Stop Awards since 2018.
15/

Rob Marshall
Chief Engineering Officer
2006 - 2023
Rob’s talents were felt most significantly when he was the Chief
Designer of the generation of cars that brought the Team its first
major successes. Following significant regulation changes in F1,
Rob’s work on the RB5 helped the Team to its first Grand Prix
victory in 2009. He played a key role in a remarkable period of
dominance for the young team, as it won four consecutive Drivers’
and Constructors’ Championship doubles between 2010 and 2013.
In 2016, Rob took a wider role across the group with the newly
created position of Chief Engineering Officer. After 17 years with
the team, Rob left Oracle Red Bull Racing in 2023.
Adrian Newey Group Chief Technical Officer
2006 - 2025
The contribution of Adrian Newey to Red Bull’s F1 journey is immeasurable. Seven Drivers’ titles, six
Constructors’ titles, and over a hundred wins by the end of 2023 tell their own story. The impact that
Adrian has had, right across the Team during his 19 years at Milton Keynes, goes beyond the statistics
alone. After joining Red Bull Racing in 2006, Adrian’s first true design, the RB3, achieved a podium finish
at the 2007 European Grand Prix. In 2008, the Team achieved the Group’s first victory with Sebastian
Vettel and Toro Rosso at the Italian GP. Demonstrating a unique ability to capitalise on regulation
change – something that became a hallmark of Adrian’s Red Bull Racing career – his clean sheet RB5
design brought the Team its first win in China in 2009, with five further victories that season. In 2010,
the RB6 carried the Team to its first double title victory, an achievement that was repeated in each of
the following three years.
The introduction of hybrid power to F1 in 2014 marked leaner times and prompted Adrian’s first step
back from exclusive F1 commitments to allow him to focus on the creation of the Valkyrie hypercar.
The arrival of Honda as the Team’s power unit partner led to the RB16B which brought the first
Championship in eight years in 2021. An extensive regulation change for the following season resulted
in another clean sheet design, the RB18, leading to a new era of dominance. After almost two decades
with the Team, Adrian announced his intention to leave in 2025, but his legacy will remain.

Chalerm Yoovidhya Co-OWNER
2004 - current
Red Bull co-owner, Chalerm Yoovidhya, co-founded Red
Bull together with his father, Chaleo Yoovidhya, and Dietrich
Mateschitz. Chalerm has been integral to the Team’s longevity
in F1, sharing his passion for F1 and the Team with his wife,
Daranee, and his extended family. Chalerm’s focus on the
Team has only grown stronger since the death of Dietrich
Mateschitz in 2022. As the Team heads into a new era as a full
constructor of chassis and power units, his support is more
crucial than ever.
Dietrich Mateschitz Co-OWNER
2004 - 2022
Two decades of history-making racing on the track and game-changing
activity off it can all be traced back to one man, Dietrich Mateschitz.
His marketing genius not only created the formula of a new product
category in 1987, energy drinks, but he also developed a revolutionary
marketing concept for a hugely successful brand that set the template
for brand engagement, pioneering a groundbreaking focus on extreme
sports. This included motorsport, so in 2005, Mr Mateschitz brought Red
Bull to F1 as a truly disruptive force, determined to shake up the status
quo. Renowned for its play-hard, work-harder spirit and determination
to do things bigger, better, and bolder, Red Bull Racing rattled the
cage of conservative F1, developing from brash upstarts to race- and
title-winners in just five years. Sadly, we lost Dietrich in October 2022
on the weekend that the Team wrapped up its sixth Drivers’ and fifth
Constructors’ title. His vision lives on in the Team that he created
and steadfastly supported. Never give up. Always push the boundaries.
Enjoy the ride.

Christian Horner Team Principal & CEO
2005 - CURRENT
Oracle Red Bull Racing Team Principal and CEO, Christian Horner, has been at
the helm since the Team’s inception in 2005. He was appointed to the role
by the late Red Bull founder, Dietrich Mateschitz, after winning a hat-trick of
International Formula 3000 titles as the boss of his own Arden International
team. Christian oversaw the swift development of the Red Bull Racing Team
over its first four seasons, assembling one capable of switching from upstart
disruptors to front runners, and then in 2010, to Champions. A spectacular run
of success led to three more consecutive titles before F1’s switch to hybrid
engines caused a downturn in fortunes. However, thanks to bringing Honda
on board as a power unit supplier and with the arrival of a young superstar
named Max Verstappen, Christian steered the Team back to glory with another
Drivers’ title in 2021 and double titles in each of the following seasons. After
two decades in charge, Christian remains as committed to the cause and as
hungry for victory as ever. Ford have joined the charge to create Red Bull Ford
Powertrains for 2026, so the future looks bright.
Paul Monaghan Chief Engineer
2005 - CURRENT
Known throughout F1 as ‘Pedals’ due to his first job in F1 designing pedals
in the early 1990s, Paul Monaghan worked at both McLaren and Renault
before joining Red Bull Racing at the start of
2005. However, with the Bulls he’s had an even
more successful career, initially in the role of
Head of Race and Test Engineering and then as
Chief Engineer - Car Engineering. Responsible for
extracting maximum performance from the Team’s
machinery across a Grand Prix weekend, Pedals has
been an integral member of the Team over the past
two decades.

2023
GARAGE
Calum Nicholas Senior Power Unit
Assembly Technician 2015 - CURRENT
Calum started his F1 career at the now-defunct Marussia Team where
he worked as a mechanic after graduating from the National College for
Motorsport at Silverstone. On race weekends, Calum is responsible for the
build and service of all race and test engines, ensuring that all assemblies
are made to the correct specification and are well within their race life,
as well as prepping for future races.
Daniel Ricciardo Driver 2014 - 2019
The ‘Honey Badger’ joined the Red Bull Junior Programme in 2008, making his
F1 debut with the HRT Team at the British Grand Prix in 2011. He joined Toro
Rosso in 2012 before moving over to Red Bull Racing in 2014. Daniel was a
revelation from the start, securing a podium with the Team in Spain. A brilliant
first win arrived a month later in Canada, and in his first season he finished third
in the Drivers’ standings. Daniel led the Team in 2015, and at the 2016 German
Grand Prix he introduced the world to his trademark podium celebrations...
the mighty ‘shoey’ (he’s going for it here!). Defined by his inspired overtaking
abilities, Daniel scored seven spectacular wins including a brilliant, battling
Monaco win in 2018 (he’s holding that trophy), and 29 podiums with the Team
before departing for Renault in 2019. Two seasons with the French squad were
followed by two more with McLaren. Daniel returned to the Red Bull family as
the Team’s third driver in 2023, before racing with AlphaTauri in the second half
of the year. In 2024, Daniel is driving with the Visa Cash RB F1 Team.
Sergio Perez Driver 2021 - CURRENT
Checo’s arrival at the Team coincided with the beginning of its current
race- and championship-winning run, and he has been an integral part of
that path to glory. In 2021, Checo racked up five podium finishes, the first
being a dramatic first win for the Team at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix. His
ferociously committed defensive showing at the season-ending Abu Dhabi
Grand Prix earned him his ‘Mexican Minister of Defence’ soubriquet, and helped
Max to his first title. In 2022, Checo matched defense with attack, adding wins
in Monaco and Singapore to his Baku victory from the previous year. This earnt
him the new title, ‘King of the Streets’. Nine other podium finishes handed him
P3 in the Drivers’ Standings, but there was still more to come. In 2023, Checo
confirmed his street racing superiority with wins in Saudi Arabia and again
in Baku, and adding seven more podiums throughout the season to hand the
Team its first-ever 1-2 finish in the Drivers’ standings.

Ben Waterhouse
Head of Performance Engineering
2017 - CURRENT
Ben’s journey has taken him from Milton Keynes, when it was still
Jaguar Racing, to Hinwil in Switzerland with BMW-Sauber, and then to
Faenza in Italy with Scuderia Toro Rosso. He returned to Milton Keynes
in 2017 as Deputy Head of Performance Engineering. The following year,
he became Head of Performance Engineering, and since then he has
helped drive the performance gains that carried the Team back to their
championship-winning ways. Leading a varied team of engineers, Ben’s
task encompasses the short-term goal of boosting performance over a
race weekend, the medium-term objective of in-season development,
and the longer-term goal of building towards the major rule changes
coming in 2026.
Alistair Rew Chief Financial Officer
2007 - CURRENT
When Alistair was first handed the keys to the coffers in 2007, Dietrich
Mateschitz told him that the job would be tough and taxing. Seventeen
years later, he’s still toughing it out as the Team’s CFO. After steering a
course for the Team through the 2008 financial crash and F1’s Resource
Restriction Agreement, Alistair played a key role in the creation of Red
Bull Advanced Technology. Most recently, he has overseen the significant
investment in the Red Bull Technology Group restructure, whilst adapting
to increased financial regulation in the sport. His latest challenges range
from overseeing the investment in Red Bull Powertrains to learning all
about the world of crypto and NFTs!
Paul Field Group Manufacturing
Director 2007 - 2023
Paul knows all there is to know about the supply chain. From driving
forklift trucks as a youngster, to stints in composites at Jordan Grand Prix,
BAR, and eventually the Honda team, he’s seen it all. In 2007, he moved to
Red Bull Racing and is responsible for the department that manufactures
the Team’s cars, delivering a constant stream of new components and
assemblies to the race team.

Lee Stevenson Chief Mechanic
2006 - 2023
For just over 18 years, ‘Leroy’ was the face of the Team’s garage mood,
with TV cameras routinely homing in on Lee’s howls of delight or despair
depending on what was happening on track. He joined the Team in 2006
from Jordan as a No. 2 Mechanic. He stepped up to the No. 1 role in 2014,
and after a brief stint away from the track as Support Team Chief
Mechanic, he was back trackside as the Race Team’s Chief Mechanic in
2023. At the beginning of our 20th season, Sauber made Lee an offer he
couldn’t refuse, and he left the team.
Chris Gent Chief Mechanic
2008 - CURRENT
‘Genty’ has been with Red Bull Racing since 2008 and has been Max’s
No. 1 Mechanic since 2021. Earlier this year, he took on the role of Chief
Mechanic. Together with his long-time counterpart Phil Turner, he ensures
our cars are in pristine condition. This includes overseeing the build of the
cars according to the specs handed down by the engineers ahead of track
action, making sure spare sub-assemblies are built, and ensuring that all
the set-up changes planned across the weekend are implemented. It’s a
constant blur of activity, but if there’s one person you’d want for that job,
it’s Genty—the quiet, calm force at the centre of the storm.
Phil Turner Chief Mechanic
1997 - CURRENT
Phil has been at Milton Keynes longer than almost anyone at the Team.
Starting on the F3 Team as a ‘gopher’ at Paul Stewart Racing in 1997, he
moved up to No. 2 Mechanic when it became Stewart Grand Prix in F1.
He kept the faith through the Jaguar years in the role of No. 1 and then
reaped the rewards after Red Bull took over in 2005. After a stint as a
No. 2 in the early years, he moved to the support team for a few years
in 2009 initially as a No. 2, then No. 1, and then Chief Mechanic, before
returning to the Race Team in 2014 as Chief Mechanic. If you want a couple
of very complicated, highly-strung race cars built to perfection and kept in
that state all weekend, just call Phil.

on the track
RB9 takes a bow
Seb stormed to his fourth consecutive
title with a classic win from pole at the
2013 Indian Grand Prix. To celebrate
the win and the title, the German spun
a series of smoky donuts on the grid,
jumped out of the car, and then bowed
down in front of the all-conquering
RB9... much to the delight of fans.
Although, he did end up receiving a
€25,000 fine on safety grounds.
Race leathers
The return of the Austrian Grand
Prix in 2014 was a major moment
for Red Bull Racing, giving the Team
an opportunity to race on home
soil. Daniel embraced the moment
magnificently when he rocked a pair
of lederhosen on race day. Since
then, it has become a Red Bull Ring
thing, with the drivers and senior
team members all turning up on race
day in traditional garb.
Smashing win
In 2023, while putting together the
most dominant season ever seen
in F1, Max delivered some crushing
victories. Hungary was one of those,
in more ways than one. Max beat
McLaren’s Lando Norris by an incredible
33 seconds and the celebrations on
the podium were exuberant. Lando’s
favourite trick of popping the cork on the sparkling wine by slapping
the bottom of the bottle off the podium went slightly wrong, and
Max’s fragile china winner’s trophy toppled over, smashing the top of
the $45,000 hand-painted prize.

SIMULATOR Engineering
2013 – CURRENT
Simon’s F1 career goes back to 2004 and the Renault F1 Team, working

joining Jaguar Racing from the world of F3000 racing. ‘I thought I’d finally
made it into F1 and then Jaguar announced they were finishing! Luckily
enough, Red Bull announced they were buying the Team,’ he recalls. Ole
hasn’t missed a Grand Prix since (barring 3 races during Covid), and 20
seasons into his Red Bull Racing career he’s still working at the front end
of the Team’s operation, watching on here as the all-conquering RB19
leaves the garage.

Over the years, the Team’s cars have been cloaked in some
incredible liveries. On the shelves behind our strategists
are some of the finest. The Team has become known for not
only pushing the boundaries on track, but also in the paint
shop. The Faces livery made up of fan images in support of
the Wings for Life charity in 2007, the incredible CamoBull
‘dazzle’ livery for 2015 winter testing, 2018’s DisruptoBull,
the Chevrons car in 2019, and the Honda RA272-inspired
livery for the 2021 Turkish Grand Prix to name a few.
Hannah Schmitz
Principal Strategy Engineer
2009 - CURRENT
It’s often said that F1 is a game of chess played at
300 km/h, so two of the Team’s strategy wizards have
been given a chess board to show their tactically brilliant
minds at work. With a Master’s degree in Mechanical
Engineering from Cambridge, Hannah joined the Team
in 2009, first as a Modelling and Simulation Engineer
before stepping up to become a Senior Strategy Engineer
in 2011. After a decade in that role, Hannah became
Principal Strategy Engineer in 2021, splitting time on the
pit wall with Head of Strategy, Will Courtenay.
Will Courtenay Head of RACE
Strategy 2003 - CURRENT
Will joined Jaguar Racing in 2003 as a Systems Engineer, looking after
sensors and electronics. He stayed in that role as the Team morphed into
Red Bull Racing in 2005. Will then moved over to strategy in 2006 where
he graduated to the role of Head of Race Strategy in 2010. This means that
he’s had a hand in every single one of the Team’s victories. These days, Will’s
work sees him dividing his time between trackside strategy on the pit wall,
and weekends back at the Milton Keynes Ops Room while Hannah runs the
trackside strategy.
