Say goodbye to the CamoBull and say hello to this, more “traditional” looking livery that Red Bull Racing is going to use on their 2015 RB11 Grand Prix car.
It was to be expected that the Milton Keynes-based team would retain their regular dark blue with purple highlights theme, and so we’re not surprised at all. We are however a bit disappointed as we remember team principal Christian Horner saying that the final livery will be “even stronger” than the camouflage theme.
It turns out, it’s just back to being normal that’s all. Red Bull have sated that “It’s not the first alternative livery we’ve used and doubtless won’t be the last – but we’ve made our mark in the last ten years in dark blue, and in dark blue we’ll remain. Those are the racing colors in which we’ve achieved great things. We’re not the most traditional of F1 teams, but like the rest of the sport, we value heritage.”
Just as we, the fans, value consistency and speed when it comes to Formula 1 cars – which is exactly what Red Bull has provided us with these past couple of seasons.
Overall, we can’t say anything bad about the official livery as we know it’s never actually looked bad – not even on the first cars back in the late 2000s.
Red Bull’s RB11 racer will be instantly recognizable on the track as soon as it will make its appearance in two weeks time in Melbourne, Australia.
