Red Bull's Goodwood Celebration: 20 Years of Formula 1 Dominance

Red Bull Racing, the iconic Formula 1 team, is set to commemorate its 20th anniversary in the sport at the prestigious Goodwood Festival of Speed. The team's past and present drivers, as well as its team principal, will take to the historic hill climb to showcase the team's remarkable journey and its impact on the sport.

Revving Up for a Legendary Celebration

A Lineup of Legendary Drivers

Red Bull has assembled an impressive lineup of drivers, both past and present, to showcase its rich heritage at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. Leading the charge will be team principal Christian Horner, who will be behind the wheel of the team's 2012 double championship-winning RB8. This will mark Horner's first time driving a Red Bull car at the event, although the team's chief technical officer, Adrian Newey, has previously piloted several of the team's iconic machines at Goodwood.The team's first two drivers, Christian Klien and David Coulthard, will also be in action, with Klien driving the RB1 from 2005 and Coulthard taking the wheel of the RB9 from 2013. Mark Webber, who came agonizingly close to winning the F1 title in the RB6 in 2010, will be reunited with that car at Goodwood. Daniel Ricciardo, a fan-favorite, will be behind the controls of the RB7 from 2011.

The Reigning Champion's Debut

One of the most anticipated moments of the event will be the appearance of the team's current drivers, Sergio Perez and Max Verstappen. Perez will be driving the RB19, the most successful Formula 1 car of all time, while Verstappen will take the wheel of the RB16B, the car that carried him to his first world championship in 2021. For Verstappen, this will not only be his Goodwood debut, but it will also mark the first time a reigning F1 champion has graced the event.

The Unveiling of the RB17 Hypercar

Goodwood will also host the public debut of the RB17, Red Bull's track-bred hypercar designed by the legendary Adrian Newey. This marks the team's first venture into the customer car market, although it is not expected to have a road-legal variant like the similar Newey-penned Aston Martin Valkyrie. Only 50 of these V8 twin-turbo machines will be produced, each with a reported price tag of around .2 million.

Celebrating a Legacy of Innovation

The Goodwood Festival of Speed's central theme this year is "Horseless to Hybrid – Revolutions in Power," which perfectly aligns with Red Bull's journey in Formula 1. The team has been at the forefront of innovation, pushing the boundaries of performance and technology throughout its two decades in the sport. From the iconic RB1 to the dominant RB19, Red Bull's cars have consistently set the standard for excellence in the pinnacle of motorsport.As the team celebrates its 20th anniversary, the Goodwood Festival of Speed provides the perfect stage to showcase its rich history, its unparalleled success, and its continued commitment to pushing the limits of what's possible in Formula 1. With a star-studded lineup of drivers, the unveiling of the RB17 hypercar, and the opportunity to witness the evolution of motorsport, this year's event promises to be a true celebration of Red Bull's enduring legacy in the sport.
