HOW IT ALL BEGAN DR HELMUT MARKO

The motorsports advisor to Oracle

When Red Bull took over the Jaguar team at the end of 2004, Dietrich Mateschitz had one wish: he wanted to win a Grand Prix. Look at us now – we’ve just scored our 100th win. It’s an incredible achievement, and not just for an energy-drink manufacturer. Apart from Ferrari, we are the only Formula 1 team to build the entire car, including the engine, in a state-of-the-art campus, new wind tunnel and all.

The risk of bringing Max Verstappen into Formula 1 after a single season in Formula 3 has paid off; a driver like him only appears once every couple of decades, and we have him in our car. The ease with which Max takes the car to the limit is incredible and a huge source of joy for us all. All the courageous decisions that have brought us this far began with the visionary Dietrich Mateschitz, who said, “This is what we’re going to do.”

The Red Bull Ring breathed new hope into a declining industrial region that had been severely impacted by emigration. The younger generation are now much more optimistic. Many jobs have been created around Spielberg, some of which are more obvious than others. For example, no Formula 1 team could get by without the work done by Styrian high-tech outfts Pankl and AVL List. The Ring itself is a great employer in the region, and, of course, the small bed-and-breakfasts and campsite operators also beneft. The layout of the track itself, embedded in this chocolate-box-beautiful setting, was designed by star architect Günther Domenig and combines function with aesthetics; if we’re lucky, the Zirbitzkogel – the highest point in the Seetal Alps – will still be snow-capped when the Grand Prix comes round. The Red Bull Ring setting is unique in the world.

There’s great enthusiasm for motorsports in Styria and across Austria, even without a local Formula 1 driver on the horizon. What we demand of a driver is that they have the capacity to win Grands Prix. Going along for the ride just won’t do. Red Bull Racing is the Austrian team. Let me get emotional for a moment… The Austrian national anthem has never been played as often in a sporting setting

as after Red Bull Racing wins. We have scored 100 Grand Prix victories for Austria. That’s more than four times the number of Summer Olympic gold medals we’ve won in our entire history! We recently considered building part of the engine plant in Austria, but we abandoned the idea: at AlphaTauri, we can see how diffcult it is to prise the required staff away from England, and that’s the home of Formula 1. We continued working on a very good car from last year and came up with the RB19. Unlike us, our competitors have gone sideways, not forwards. The arrival of Aston Martin on the scene means a third serious rival has joined the ranks of Mercedes and Ferrari. They take points away from each other, which increases our lead at the top of the World Championship. And we’re optimistic about the future in terms of business, too, not just sport. There’s great support and understanding from both the shareholders and the new management. Our managing director enjoys F1 and comes to almost every race. We’re in a perfect position. It’s a pity that Dietrich Mateschitz isn’t here to see it. He’s often in our thoughts, and all the more so at our home Grand Prix.

Red Bull Racing reveals bold visions, unique records, and how he’ll shed a quiet tear in memory of a friend…

MEET THE DREAM MACHINE

This year’s Oracle Red Bull Racing car is shaping up to be one of modern F1’s most potent packages. But how has it happened? Who better to ask than the RB19 itself...

Words JUSTIN HYNES Illustration CHRIS RATHBONE

Eight wins from the frst eight races of the season. Seven poles, four 1-2 fnishes and four fastest laps in the same period – Oracle Red Bull Racing’s RB19 is on course to be the team’s most successful racing machine and one of the most dominant cars in modern F1 memory. But where does that kind of complete control come from?

The Red Bulletin asked the only one who really knows: the RB19 itself…

MY WEIGHT WATCHER

It’s fair to say that my predecessor, the RB18, was born a little out of shape and the team spent all season trying to make it less heavy. It worked and, as 2022 went on, the 18 became more and more svelte. It still wasn’t enough, though, and the process continued with me. Throughout the design phase, the team tried to make me even more shapely, as technical director Pierre Waché explains.

MY OPTIMISER

MY MASTERMIND

As with all my predecessors, a key role in my genesis was played by Adrian Newey. The team’s chief technical offcer is an F1 legend, with a total of 12 Drivers’ and 11 Constructors’ titles under his belt. Six of those Drivers’ Championships and fve of the team titles have been achieved with my Red Bull ancestors, and Adrian’s ability to exploit regulation change – in 2009 with the generation of title winners spawned by the RB5, and then again with the RB18 in 2022 –is a big part of my success. Don’t believe me? Just ask Christian Horner.

“Adrian Newey has been such a fundamental part [of the team] since almost the beginning,” Christian says. “He’s just as motivated as he has always been. Obviously he has a great interest in what’s going on in [Red Bull] Powertrains, and in Red Bull Advanced Technologies as well. So he covers the three pillars of the campus in Milton Keynes.”

“It was clear that the weight of [last year’s] car was not at the level we wanted,” Pierre says. “This was a general performance gain. The second was our capacity to change the weight distribution as a set-up tool, because we were overweight. That was a target for RB19. Also, with the RB18 we had quite a lot of understeer in low-speed corners, so we had to improve that situation. And then, as a general aspect, we wanted some more stability in highspeed corners.”

Two other key elements needed to be considered in my design: changes to the foor and diffuser were introduced to combat the bouncing or ‘porpoising’ that affected some teams in 2022. The RB18 wasn’t affected, but the changes – a raise of 15mm in the foor edge and 10mm for the diffuser throat, where the venturi tunnels under the car narrow to create a pressure change that increases downforce – could deprive me of downforce and therefore lap time.

The aero team in Milton Keynes, led by Enrico Balbo, overcame the defcit with clever refnements of the existing foor concepts. “It was quite a large change,” says Pierre Waché, “but we decided to try to recover it by aero development, which did a fantastic job to recover [lost downforce] and overcome the challenge of the rules. It’s clearly a good car; an improvement compared with last year. The main worry now, as an engineer, is that you don’t want that to stop.”

THE PLACE WHERE I WAS BORN

ADRIAN NEWEY Chief technical officer

If there’s one thing that makes an F1 car competitive, it’s relentless development, and by the time we reach Abu Dhabi in November I won’t be the same car that took to the track in Bahrain. According to Pierre, one of the priorities is low-speed performance: “It’s the most effcient way of bringing lap time. We gained quite a lot in highspeed corners compared with last year. Last year, Ferrari were very strong compared with us, but this year I think we lost a little bit in low-speed, so that’s something we have to improve. It’s what we are looking at.” So expect me to be even better in the twisty bits as the season goes on.

MY INTERNIST

If development is a key component in keeping me competitive, equally important is the ability to quickly dial me into any circuit we visit. That’s the job of Paul Monaghan. As chief engineer, he reckons I’m particularly compliant.

“In pre-season testing, it looked like we had a competitive car,” Paul says, “but at the Bahrain race on Friday it was a bit diffcult to set up. We did a good job, though, and got it settled. And ultimately we did appear to have a bit in hand there, which is a rare privilege.

“Now, we can get a balance on the car quickly and the drivers can be reasonably settled with it,” he continues. “So their feedback has all been constructive criticism, as opposed to, ‘This thing is terrible to

drive.’ It seems to set up pretty well. If we have to, I think we can take on any diffculty on a Friday evening without the fear that we’ll run out of time to be ready for FP3 on Saturday.”

MY TECHNICIAN

As well as being easy to set up, the team have learnt some lessons from the RB18 in terms of ease of build and repair, as chief mechanic Phil Turner reveals.

“We can get the gearbox off a lot quicker than last year’s car because of new packaging,” he says. “Last year’s car was the frst of a new era, so it was always going to be a learning process. The RB18 wasn’t too bad, but the 19 is a lot more refned – in every area. There are some diffcult areas to work on, but if you want to be competitive

and quick, there have to be compromises. Overall, though, it’s quite a nice clean car to work on.”

And with eight races gone, the crew in the garage know their way around me pretty thoroughly.

“At the start of the year, people are learning the new car, but once they’ve done two or three races it becomes second nature,” Phil says. “It’s really that quick, and within a couple of races everybody is fully up to speed. I think we all thought this year would be a bit closer and tighter at the top, but somehow the RB19 is another step forward and the pace it’s shown has been pretty impressive. I think we’re

LEAN , MEAN 19

riding the crest of a wave, really – and long may it continue.”

MY ACCELERATOR

From Wednesday – when the frst stages of the car build are done – right through to Saturday afternoon, the team is focused on making me as quick as possible in qualifying and the race. In charge of getting me to a point where the driver’s happy is the race engineer. In Checo’s case, that’s Hugh Bird. “During Free Practice, we’re typically working through a run plan, reacting to performance limitations based on Checo’s feedback and data analysis from the engineering team,” Hugh says. “Then, as we move into Saturday, it’s about making the fnal refnements on set-up, tuning how we

operate the tyres, highlighting small adaptations to Checo’s driving that could make the difference in qualifying. By Sunday, the discussions shift more to strategy. The strategy team puts forward its plans, and it’s important everyone understands them so we can communicate throughout the race as we adapt to the unfolding situation.

“One of the most important things I do during the race is to be Checo’s eyes on the wider situation, making sure he’s as well informed on the bigger picture as possible.”

It all comes back to car and driver in the end, though, and this is where Hugh says I’m a natural winner: “From a race engineer’s perspective, the RB19 has addressed some of the major handling defciencies of recent years without compromising performance.

“It’s not often this can be done, and it really allows us to dial in the setup. Of all the cars I’ve been fortunate enough to work with, the RB19 is undoubtedly the best. The results speak for themselves.”

It’s not just weight reduction that’s led to a quicker Red Bull. A host of other refnements have improved performance everywhere

Front wing

For 2023, the FIA tightened the rules around the design of front-wing endplates. The team’s response to the tighter regulations was to

subtly evolve the 2022 wing to increase load without increasing consequences downstream.

FIA, this year’s cars feature much larger mirrors.

Diffuser

To cure the porpoising that affected some cars in 2022, the diffuser throat has been raised by 10mm. The change resulted in a rethink of how airflow is managed, with the diffuser being altered to maximise air flow in order to recoup any potential losses in downforce.

Sidepods

The RB18 featured tightly sculpted sidepods; on the RB19, this concept has been refined with the undercut on the sidepod matched by greater contouring on the sides. In turn, that has led to changes to the top of the bodywork and the engine cover to improve cooling.

Floor Changes to the floor –which, like the diffuser alterations, were introduced to combat porpoising – could have robbed the RB19 of downforce and lap time. However, clever refinements of existing floor concepts on the RB19 have prevented that, while winglets on the floor edge have been moved upwards and forwards for better channel airflow over a new cut-out section.

“Of all the cars that I’ve been fortunate enough to work with, the RB19 is undoubtedly the best”

SPINNING OFF SPINNING OFF

The excellent series Formula 1: Drive to Survive has attracted new fans to the sport and introduced them to the paddock’s key players. But in the competitive world of streaming TV, you must innovate to stay ahead. Here are our pitches for some spin-off shows…

Sing It to Win It

From La La Land to The Little Mermaid, the big screen musical is back. F1 has long regarded itself as the all-singing, all-dancing racing series, so we put that to the test with a musical version of Drive to Survive, titled Sing It to Win It. After all, F1 already has a melodramatic theme by Brian Tyler, a composer of Marvel movie soundtracks, so this is the next logical step. ‘Left turn, right turn’ becomes ‘turn, turn, kick, turn’ as drivers switch from dancing from throttle to brake to dancing on stage. We already have our opening scene: as team personnel enter the paddock, the signature beeping of the security gates prompts a spontaneous rendition of In the Summertime by Mungo Jerry. Cue curtain…

Dirty Air

One issue with a reality show is, well, reality. Drivers or team bosses may have beef with another team after a race, but they’re grown-ups, so they resolve their issues and move on. From a TV creative’s point of view, that’s dramatic death. Artistic license is necessary to make compelling

stories. Also, we’ve all seen F1 drivers trying to act, and it ain’t pretty. Iconic stories from basketball have been dramatised to create successful comedies such as HBO’s Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty and the Michael Jordan film Air. With F1, the screenwriters can let their imaginations run riot as the season unfolds. And what a dream cast: Michael B Jordan stars as Lewis Hamilton, Pedro Pascal is Sergio Pérez, and Chris Hemsworth plays Daniel Ricciardo, with special guest star Patrick Stewart as Adrian Newey. Episode one: Max (Jason Momoa) must jump his jet ski over a shark in Monaco harbour.

Pit Lasso

Who doesn’t love a heart-warming, fish-out-of-water comedy in which a moustachioed American is promoted to the top job, defies his detractors, and wins everyone over with his folksy charm and progressive approach to modern sport. Yes, we all miss Chase Carey, but at least we have Ted Lasso to entertain us. The nicest sitcom on TV is the perfect antidote to an age of toxic aggression, showing that

we can be our best selves and still lift those around us. Who wouldn’t want to see Yuki Tsunoda bringing home-baked cookies into the garage? Or Fernando Alonso defying his reputation as possibly the world’s angriest driver by becoming a mentor to the next generation? Or Christian, Zak and Toto putting aside their differences to become the paddock’s own Diamond Dogs? “It’s just a group of people who care. Not unlike folks at a hip-hop concert whose hands are not in the air.”

The Road Trip

Leave the cauldron of F1’s internal politics and competition far behind as Guenther Steiner and Mattia Binotto jump into a vintage Fiat 500 and hit the road on a gastronomic world tour. Of course, the F1 paddock boasts some of the finest dining for miles around, so they end up driving from the airport to the track. We start the day with a fried English breakfast at Williams before lunch at trattoria Pirelli. In the evening, it’s fusion cuisine at Red Bull Energy Station, and finally we head over to Alpine to enjoy the sunset with a glass of Bordeaux.

THE PERFECT FIT

Drivers

Max Verstappen and Alain Prost

The most successful pilots are the reigning world champion and the ‘Professor’ from France, a driver with four World Championship titles to his name. Both have won the Austrian Grand Prix three times, but Max edges it thanks to his win at the 2021 Styrian Grand Prix, which makes him the most successful driver in the Aichfeld in F1 history. With wins in 1983, ’85 and ’86, Prost is the perfect partner, even though he may be a little rusty.

Team

Ferrari

Statistically speaking, you have the greatest chance of winning at the Red Bull Ring in a Ferrari or a McLaren. Lorenzo Bandini (1964), Jacky Ickx (1970), Eddie Irvine (1999), Michael Schumacher (2002 and ’03) and last year’s winner Charles Leclerc have all made sure the Italian national anthem rang out on the podium. Lauda, Prost, Häkkinen and Coulthard also have a combined tally of six wins for McLaren. For the sake of the Italian tifosi, our dream team will drive a Ferrari.

Start numbers 1 and 6

Alain Prost, Mika Häkkinen and Michael Schumacher (twice) have all won as number 1, whereas Jack Brabham, Ronnie Peterson and Nico Rosberg (again, twice) enjoyed victory as number 6. Max Verstappen has won at the Red Bull Ring four times as number 33, but one of those was the Styrian Grand Prix. Since Max is number 1 anyway as world champion, Prost gets number 6.

Tyres Goodyear

Let’s pretend for a moment there are no standard tyres and Pirelli isn’t already in second place overall with their last nine victories. We’ll put Goodyear tyres on the car. With 13 victories, they’re the most successful brand in Styria, and those were in the 1970s and ’80s, too, when Goodyear were up against other suppliers.

Team Principal Ron Dennis

At the controls: a strict man who’s a stickler for order and cleanliness. In Ron Dennis, you have a man at the helm who has racked up seven titles with Prost, Lauda, Häkkinen and Coulthard, and he runs such a tight ship that the smallest dust particles evaporate in his presence (voluntarily).

Engine Ford

When Oracle Red Bull Racing’s partnership with Ford comes to fruition in 2026, its statistical chances of victory in Austria will increase: the blue oval has finished in front no fewer than nine times. It’s about time for a return to winning ways in Spielberg for Ford – its last victory here was in 1982 (Elio de Angelis for Team Lotus).

Bring these all-time greats together and you have the ultimate winning team for racing in Spielberg – at least, that’s what the stats say…

QUICK- CHANGE ARTIST

Jacqueline Haider

“Come to the fan area and join in the Pit Stop Game. It goes something like this: teams of three try to change a front tyre on model racing cars as quickly as possible. One person takes charge of the old tyre, one is in charge of the new one, and the third person operates the wheel gun. And I’m the compère. I explain the rules, tell them when to start and sometimes join in myself. The job starts at nine and goes on into the evening, but I get breaks when there’s action on the track – during the race and qualifying. I’m 21 and lived in America for a year, so it’s easy for me to switch back and forth between English and German. I studied acting, too, which also helps. Some people take the Pit Stop Game very seriously and get back in the queue immediately after their turn. The best time we’ve had so far is 2.6 seconds, which is almost F1 speed.”

COMPANY BULL

Johannes Tanzer

“I’m Bulli Jr, the Red Bull Ring mascot, and I’m here to entertain the fans. In my day job I’m a social worker, and I use that experience to help me interact with the crowd. I like talking to the fans, and I’m happy to be photographed at any time. The downside is that I don’t have a fan and I have to shower at least twice a day because it’s very hot inside the costume. I have a lot of fun, especially entertaining children. In 2022, Valtteri Bottas was absent from the starting grid and people wondered if maybe he’d disguised himself as Bulli. But I’m sorry, it was just me!”

We don’t get involved if there’s an accident on the track – there’s a separate unit for dealing with that. Our shift starts at 7am and runs through to 7pm. Most of our interventions revolve around heat, wasp stings, the odd cut and, when evening comes round, the effects of alcohol. I’m not just committed to the Red Cross – I love Formula 1 and any big event. This job combines all three of those passions. Obviously, I hope there won’t be much for us to do this weekend, both at the track and among the spectators.”

“I’ve been a track marshal for 10 years. I’ve been interested in motorsports ever since I can remember, which is how I ended up applying to the Red Bull Ring. After extensive theoretical training and a dry run, one day there I was, all alone on my turn, hoping nothing would happen! But there’s always something. The great thing about this job is the community: we’re close to the cars and talk about them in private. We’re all petrolheads. I’m usually stationed at Turn 6, but this year I’ll be chief marshal at Race Control for the first time.”

“I first saw a slow train at a holiday resort, and now I’ve been driving one for 14 years. We’ve been in Formula 1 since the first race at the Red Bull Ring – they wanted something special to chauffeur spectators to the track. On the Thursday we do pit-lane tours, and from Friday to Sunday we run a shuttle service for the spectators on the east and west side so they can save themselves the walk and still get to see something. A train can cost up to €150,000, but it’ll last for a good 20 years. Its top speed is 10kph and, despite its length, you only need a regular driving licence to operate it. We build the trailers ourselves. In my private life, I’m a big Max fan.”
