Red Bull and Porsche looked like a match made in heaven mere weeks ago - but as the situation became clearer the devil in the detail put the partnership into doubt. 📝 mattkewF1 explores the details into why the two parties might not fit together ⬇️
Red Bull was a disruptive force when it blew its way into Formula 1 in 2005. From the ashes of a Jaguar team muzzled by corporate obliviousness - famously, Ford overlords in Detroit were unaware why millions were being paid to a 'Mr E Irvine' - here grew a lithe operation. It turned up the music, constructed the 'Energy Station' in the paddock and presented its unashamedly vibrant self, while Christian Horner was by some way the youngest team principal.
Seventeen years later, the marketing department still works hard to sell a similar image. Think of the squad’s grand prix drivers racing Aston Martins while towing caravans or the spectacle of putting a set of snow chains on an RB7 before sending it up a ski slope. How about the Red Bulletin from this year’s Austrian GP, which ran a cartoon of sustainability superhero ‘Sensibleman’.
