A Red Bull in flames

40

Red Bull's early years as a constructor saw the team focused on matching the brand's fun style, and included a number of innovative partnerships. One such deal saw the team run a Star Wars livery at the 2005 Monaco Grand Prix, helping to promote 'Revenge of the Sith'. The paint job makes the Red Bull look like it's on fire ... slightly topical, eh?
